    3.1 : Astrologian "adjustments''

    So, apparently, according to the live letter, 3.1 will bring some modifications to the astrologian, as well as bard, ninja and paladin.
    Any thoughts about this? Maybe there will be changes to Noct sect or the spear, but what do you think about it?

    I'm reeeaaally hoping they change the spear. It's a bit TOO situational. Trying to draw it when you really need it is a pain :c

    From the start, there have been many people wanting Spear to reduce the remaining time on abilities that are on cooldown - I think it's a solid idea, myself.
    I'm almost worried they're planning on nerfing Synastry, as it's a buff so powerful most people figured it was bugged until they fixed the tooltip.

    AST definitely needs a little more help, most high-end groups aren't a fan of RNG buffs and (slightly) weaker heals for progression. Hoping for 20y Aspected Helios and the ability to Shuffle every single time your Draw, possibly even being able to Shuffle infinitely with a 2s CD because there is nothing worse than getting Spire > Spire when the majority of fights don't need Spire, or one Spire won't actually fix the group's TP issues and the BRD/MCH has to play TP restorations anyway.

    Basically, I think the support aspect should be far less RNG. Even if you drew Balance every. single. card, it wouldn't even be OP.

    This and AST + WHM isn't as good as it should be in high-end raids.

    Most JP conversations regarding AST that I've read are focusing on the RNG driven buffs and Nocturnal Sect so my guess is this is probably where it's heading.

    The only problem is that is the RNG nature of the buffs offsets the healing power, if they were to remove the RNG nature, the job would become too powerful since it can full heal and buff at will. My guess is that they are going to keep the current level of RNG and just alter the effects of the cards, extend the duration, or enhance the existing effect.

    If they buff shielding, AST would easily replace SCH in almost every aspect of the game. If they buff healing, AST would replace WHM in almost every aspect of the game. The only changes they can make that would still be fair to the other 2 healers is in the card system.

    Most likely they will receive some kind of MP buff.

    I hope they don't touch synastry. It's like one of the astrologians few emergency skills.

    This.

    I hope there won't be any nerfs to the ''actual'' astrologian due to those news ''adjustments''. That would be stupid but who knows
