So I guess I'll just copy over my thoughts on the job guide that was just posted:

"AST is the best reading ever. Bare in mind people in all 3 of the healing jobs have already been saying Astrologian is overpowered compared to the other healers.

Essential Dignity- Recast time reduced from 60 to 40 seconds.

Diurnal Sect- Effect changed from "Reduces spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 5%" to "Increases healing magic potency by 10%."

Aspected Benefic- Cure potency increased from 190 to 200.
Nocturnal Sect cure potency has been removed.
Nocturnal Sect effect changed from "Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 130% the amount of HP restored" to "Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 250% the amount of HP restored."

Combust II- Cast time has been made instant.
Potency increased from 45 to 50.
MP cost has been reduced.

Nocturnal Sect- The effect increasing healing magic potency has been changed from 10% to 15%.

Synastry- The effect increasing spell-based HP restoration by 20% has been removed. (HOLY HELLBALLS IS THAT A NERF?)

Malefic II- Potency reduced from 200 to 180.
MP cost has been reduced. (WE BALANCED NOW, LADS!)

Collective Unconscious- Unchanged (thanks for the update, SE)

Those were not cherry picked. Those are all the adjustments made. One nerf and one potential nerf that gets replaced 10 levels later anyway. Not even counting the new stuff.

What even is AST now?"
