General Astro PvP Tips

[Korihu]

This is good stuff and maybe I will consider trying out AST again since it's my favourite class but I still can't help but feel iffy about it. (deorbit being a useless skill in 99% of Feast matches mostly does that, having a whole skill less than the other healers is :/ )

But there is one thing, Synastry DOES boost your healing by 25% on the target. Unless they changed it completely from how it works in Wolves Den Pier. I could probably look through Stream

The actual main heal number isn't boosted, but the target still receives that extra 25%. I tested it myself live on stream, here are screenshots before and after Synastry and I can give you the clip on Discord since I'm not sure they allow twitch clips here.




Notice how the Synastry target receives an extra, smaller heal?

Good catch. I'll edit OP, definitely didn't see that since it's so small and off to the side. Just verified it with a video I had from a match in Feast, so definitely not specific to WDP.

I accidentally interrupted my melee's Limit Break by using Deorbit on him as he was readying it. This skill feels very clunky to me and seems to have potential to do more harm than good at times, at least in Feast!


Thanks for posting these tips, Koltik! AST is my main job for PvP and I was originally very disappointed with the changes they've made to it, but I think it's just a case of my not being used to the new way of playing it, since it feels so different to me now. I tried out your suggestions earlier and it did seem to help, so now I'm looking forward to playing around with it more!

Only real uses I found for Deorbit in Frontlines are when retreating with one of your party members is lagging behind and in danger of being killed or when one of your overzealous party members with no awareness of their surroundings is about to be mobbed (and 80% of the time they run right back in to their deaths, not knowing what just happened).
