Possible AST nerf

Except, the cards are random... Hell, you can't count on balance being available in spread much less popping up at any given point. Once you have it, sure, tuck it away. However, you illustrate my point. You are not addressing an area that astro is overpowered. You are telling me areas the other classes have been nerfed too much in. This autocorrect is killing me. From here on out, astroturfing means ast ok? As for the potency of noct, the dam shield gets eaten fast by anything and everything. Hell, soloing in fates, it ends fast as hell. AST does not need nerfed, the others need boosted back to their former power.

So you're just bad? Lets not balance jobs around people who can't even play them properly. kthxbai

Not as bad as you apparently. If you don't understand the question, junior, go ask daddy to explain it. Til then, shut your mouth, noob.

Okay, so lets just deal with one thing. I don't want to give your brain too much to handle. You have SCH listed on your character so I assume you have some basic knowledge on that.

Adloquium has always been 300 potency heal and shield. Astrologian's Aspected Benefic now costs less, shields much more and is instant. Explain to me how "boosted back to their former power" even makes sense here? A lot of the SCH/WHM healing kit wasn't even touched, so the clear issue here is that AST got too many unwarranted buffs that (more so in SCHs case) are completely outclassing the other jobs.

Once again, if you don't have at least a basic understanding of all three healer jobs in their current lv70 state, you have no business talking about healer balance in all honesty.

You just don't get it do you? AST had to be boosted heavily to be on par with the others. AST is by all accounts doing well in this expansion and the others are not. You never drag a class down to the others that you ADMIT are broken. You are a fool.

That's the point of shields...? They're there as a buffer. That's legitimately what they're there for, to take one or two hits at maximum and nothing else. That doesn't change the fact that an AST's has higher potency shields for far less of a cost, nor that their single shield is an instant cast where as SCH's takes two seconds to proc at almost 1.8k cost. In an expansion where damage mitigation is so essential THIS IS HUGE as you can legitimately turn a devastating tank buster into a normal hit, except AST's don't even have to learn the rotation of the fight to learn when best to proc theirs. If you see the cast bar as a SCH you've already lost your chance to put out an Adlo, where as AST's can literally throw out something twice as good INSTANTLY. It also doesn't help that AST shields and SCH overwrite one another, so SCH legitimately have to sit and do nothing but DPS and the occasional lustrate if the AST in their party refuses to switch out of Noct. That is overpowered.

You admit the problem but STILL refuse to accept that you are wrong on the cure. You can't fix 1/3 broken classes by breaking all 3.

I like how people think the solution is to buff the other healer to broken levels.
Do you people even know what powercreeping is?

Except nerfing one slightly isn't breaking all three?? At all? In fact you're the one whose been advocating that all three need to be nerfed as the solution? I'm wondering if you're honestly a troll at this point.

Precisely. Pure buffing isn't going to fix anything but ruin the balance even more.

At which point did I say this?

Claiming that a job is outclassing the others doesn't mean that I'm saying they are broken. It was me highlighting that AST is currently overpowered. I think both WHM and SCH are viable, but AST is mandatory. That is the issue.

I don't want to see healing being faceroll in this game, and so I'd rather WHM/SCH not get buffed to levels that makes the content easy. This would take a lot of fun out of savage. And for the record, you didn't actually answer my question on the shields.

Let me ask you, why are people asking for buffs to the other classes? If they are doing perfectly well, how does anyone know there is a problem. There's your answer. Mark my words, if AST is nerfed, all 3 will be boosted next.
