Astro needs a Nerf in PVP

The difference between SCH and AST is that SCH is limited by their Lustrates. You'll die eventually because you blow through all 9 Lustrates and then have nothing to burn. AST(btw Lightspeed does nothing for Aspected Benefic), has their Instant Shields which can be applied instantly and a crit shield does wonders in PVP. If they get low? ED. Still being tailed? Celestial Opposition. They have more tools to work with than SCH and WHM for -KITING- purposes. As a healer, they're kinda meh in PVP.

It does something for aspected helios though. The aoe heal.

That's fine and dandy which is true, but for PVP purposes, AST isn't typically going to spamming Aspected Helios(mostly due to party being spread anyway). I'd see Lightspeed more for Benefic II spam.

All I want is for them to nerf Astros for Wolves Den before ranked wolves den. :<
SE pls.

Sorry but this is the truth, a full team couldn't kill 2 astro's while they held a node and curing themselves the whole time......

I can see many great ppl will say they can kill any AST, and ofcoz, when they are AST, they will say no will can kill them ^^;

Before the astro buff I was totally fine with it, now honestly I think they are a little "too strong" compared to the other healers, probably I'm thinking about Seal rock, where usually a little (let's be positive xD) chaos is involved, so not all the players are super pvp focused and so Astro seems very powerful because with just 1 insta-skill he easily stay alive (and please take in consideration that astro has even synastry, lightspeed and essential dignity + AoE stun).

Even if they will rebalance it I hope they won't put something like a cast time to it, in my opinion they should force astro to use all their skills, maybe giving to Aspect Benefic a double MP cost if your previous skill was another aspect Benefic (actually u can do about 20 Aspect benefic without MP regeneratio skills)

Anyway I still think that if there is just an astro in a party, sleep him or just one player has to chase him while u are totally free to kill the rest of them, they have the best survivability but the worst paty-healing in my opinion, my fear are mostly connected to Wolves Den and the Fest.

Just focus them down: put a nin on them with their 2 stuns and silence. That should be 6 to 8 seconds of no healing

Yes, nerf a class cause they outshine in one aspect of the game, Genius.

L2P And stop 1v1 a healer, Dive on him with your party, Get some hits in, stun &LB. Done

Uhh..Sometimes those kind of things require some attention. Cleric Stance. Regen Stacking. They got nerfed pretty hard but they outshined in one aspect of the game. Was it needed? Definitely. In a 72 man party, AST isn't a huge concern because they can't do much. In smaller groups, it's more obvious because they can kite for days. Much like SMN is more dominant in 72 man versus smaller games.
