Thread: 3.1 : Astrologian "adjustments''

What do you feel Ewer, Spire, and Spear should have in strength? Honestly even if Spire restored 100 TP (extreme example) a tick, or Spear was 30% CDR, they'd still mostly be worthless in raids. I think they have to change at their core, or just be much less likely to end up as your final card, with a Shuffle buff(s) or a condensed card pool.

Buff DPS potency and reduce mana cost

RNG = random number generator. But in gaming terms its most often used to describe something left to chance as opposed to something you can control. It gets tossed around with respect to AST because the buffs are random. You Draw 1 of 6 cards randomly - you can't control what you get and it may not be what you want to use in the current situation.

So when you are 2 seconds into a fight, and you draw a useless spire - RNG screwed you (the random number generator in the background that resulted in the spire being drawn when you would have much preferred and Arrow or Balance)

My Dream changes. Goal being that taking any 2 healing classes works well enough.

Diurnal -> Gives party MND Buff. Possibly slight nerf to healing potency to compensate

Noct - >

Lightspeed - While in Noct it makes next cast instant and off GCD(works same as now in Diurnal), This is to compensate for lack of o gcds vs sch, and has dps potential to bridge that gap. Could be used for aoe, st, or dps as such. Also reduce the CD on it a bit in noct.

Essential Dignity - While in noct restores mana based on % of healing done, rather than heals more. This is to compensate for mana free healing from fairy, and able to shield more often, use more mana intensive heals to compensate vs fairy.

Collective Unconscious - No regen in noct, instead is deploy-able or persists on target cast on for duration.

Synastry - Should copy applied shields to synastry target.

Horrible suggestion. Yeah, let's return AST to their former "glory" where no one wanted them in their parties and people dreaded getting an AST in their dungeons.
