3.26 AST Change. . .

Astrologian Collective Unconscious Can now be canceled by actions that render one unable to act such as stun.

Can anyone tell me why this is even a thing? The uses were already fairly limited in battle, more so with how much people are moving around nonstop. I've heard people call it op as heck, but really? The CD is fairly long, it takes coordination (I cant even count the number of times people run out it before they even get the regen in solo q) It just seems like a pointless nerf to AST to lower their utility. I saw someone cheering over the nerf on reddit because it was an unfair free heal, excuse me? For starters its a regen, while a strong one people have to actually be in it for the regen to take effect. On top of that, YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ELSE WHILE CHANNELING. So unless you get the perfect timing where you hit the regen on everyone you want and cancel it yourself, you're SOL.


I really fail to see the purpose behind this nerf. It puts AST a step farther behind, and before you go and say 'but AST is really strong!!1' Their effectiveness really falls off fast when damage is spread out across multiple people.

TBH, I have no problems with it and AST is my healer main. I found it stupid that the skill is still in use while being stunned/etc. More so in Seal Rock when you can cap a node with it still open.

AST only have two oGCD heals though, This and Essential Dignity.
By that logic, WHMs should get nerfs on Benediction, Asylum, Assize, and Tetragrammaton and SCH should get nerfs on Lustrate, Indomitability, both fairies' Embraces, and Eos's Whispering Dawn.

As an AST PVP main, I can say that this is hardly a nerf. It's really not a big deal. The three healers are all pretty equal atm, with AST still by far being the easiest to play.

Well, whms have an extra instant cast large heal, and a buff that increases spell speed, and schs have aetherflow stacks that are also instant, and a fairy that give the sch a spell speed buff, and it can heal while the SCH is stunned\slept, so maybe not. :P

And that, my friends, is what we call balance.

But Astros ground aoe is less balanced now ;-;

you use the word balance, but I don't think you know what that means.
