Thread: Healer adjustment in 4.05

You know, as much as people say this, I think they're forgetting the fact that Stoneskin was able to be put in multiple targets. So in the rare cases where we'd have multiple weaknesses, and a boss Ultimate coming up, we could at least shield them both. Or heck, even Stoneskin II being able to give some AOE mitigation at the start of a fight was good. We have absolutely no way to mitigate AOE damage.
But SCH has ways to mimic WHM level healing. It's just weird.

I'm sorry but I think it's the complete opposite. People "miss SS" and think it was more useful than it actually was. I rarely used SS on anyone other than a tank who had weakness, and it was a complete waste to use your GCDs to Stoneskin mutiple people individually. That's a massive waste of MP and GCDs for a measly 10% buffer, especially since they have weakness (lower max HP).

The only thing I miss about SS is making myself immune to certain knockbacks, like in Ifrit HM.

And I don't recall a time when SCH could mimic WHM healing, pound for pound.

The problem I'm seeing on this entire forum is that people have issues with White Mage and Scholar (rightfully so, in some cases) and they're taking them out on Astrologians because we don't have "the same" issues. This shouldn't be a White Mage/Scholar vs Astrologian game. It shouldn't be us vs them. We (Astros) are just as frustrated with the current state of WHM and SCH as you guys are! We're behind you! We support your movement... Stop taking your frustrations out on us as if it's our fault...

Your going overboard with what I'm saying... with average luck you can have a decent amount of balances in a single fight. Idc if you only get 3 balances that's more then a drg or sch can do with their buffs.

Well if that's the case then.
Ast has chance of drawing nothing but balances his entire life. Idk about you but that's pretty game breaking and probably should be nerfed tho it's very unlikely there IS a chance at it and that's pretty game breaking.

I tried being reasonable you seem to think ever fight is A you get a godly amount balance or B you get none at all and all you had say was it's still rng and that's why it's balanced. Belive it or not there is a middle ground. And I thought 3 was a pretty decent middle ground since I can do like 5 aoe at once

Btw Im a whm main but been playing ast cuz it's obvious how broken it is. Aoe damage buffs aoe benediction that has no cast time and don't have to be charged to be good.

See the thing that confused me the most was the removal of Miasma II, followed by the addition of the Miasma III spell. Like, why did they take II out if they added a third iteration of it to the Stormblood ability list? Seems like it was removed on accident, or they just needed to take something out so every job would lose 4 abilities.
