New Class idea [Geometrician]

[Wayfinder3]

Astrologian has many problems because of it's ability to fit in the slot of both healers, mainly that it's raw utility in it's cards circumvent the fact that the other healers are more efficient at either healing or shielding. Since there are 3, having the 3 healers balanced around 1 being able to shield and the other being able to regen while one can do both makes sense. However problems will arise unless every healer gets the ability to regen or shield or you're going to see ast as that puzzle piece that fits into every comp, or you'll have every NEW healer nearly replicate AST as far as having a watered down version of whm and sch's core kit. Thing is, they already did this with AST.

this would be like making a physical version of red mage and calling it gunblade job. I would rather shields be nerfed to allow for stacking or adjusted in some way, then to see ast continue to fit in the puzzle piece place that it does right now.

Not to be rude but as both me and Caeseisa noted, your proposal is literally a hybrid of a Hybrid and i don't think making a hybrid of 3 jobs 1 of which is already a hybrid is smart job design. if your healer focused more on the concept of AoE, shields in the same vain of sacred soil or regens like asylum, you'd have a unique job idea. AoE domes based effects that can do either shields or regens but not both allow for more diversity while not running into the issue you mentioned with over lapping shields. Sacred soil and Collective unconsious can stack together. you could also have an AoE that causes buffs in the same vain of ley lines but for the raid.
