    It's hard to say. The faster cast time is there, but faster cast time doesn't actually do anything unless your GCD lowers to match it. Even if Malefic was lowered to a 2s cast time, the same speed as your benefic/Benefic II IIRC, it won't change anything because your GCD is still 2.5s.
    Lightspeed change could be something, as mechanics that you normally need to move for and stop DPSing can just be continuously dps'd through. Overall though, I don't think it'll hurt WHM much as far as raid DPS goes.

    Well first off. It'll allow AST to stop clipping their GCD with card mechanics. Over an entire fight that makes a difference.
    The ability to drop some piety for crit and dps while moving will also add to AST's personal dps.

    Ah, you're right about that. No more clipping and possibly a lot more mobility even outside of Lightspeed may boost ASTs DPS by quite a bit...
    Well, now I'm a little worried lol. I just hope things don't get as bad as Creator's tier.

    Assuming that A.Helios is not getting a potency buff, I would say that these changes aren't really stepping on WHMs territory much. AST/SCH is already the more optimal pairing DPS wise, and while ASTs DPS will increase slightly, it still shouldn't be anywhere near the level of WHM or even SCH.

    People generally enjoy WHM for it being a powerhouse in progression, as well as being a relatively simple job, so these AST changes aren't going to change that. It's simply making AST a lot less clunkier (hopefully) and giving it a slight boost in pDPS.

    I'm happy, I've said two months ago when I've stopped playing "If I come back, I'll play AST, I promise"
    Juste playing again since two weeks, and then : AST buff.

    What a luck

    The buff sounds good ofc.

    IF Spire doesn't get scummed into something better, I'll be surprised.

    Heyho,

    There are new Infos from interviews from Yoshida:

    [Astrologian]
    Astrologian will have precise adjustments, such as fixing the problem of "draw" biting into your GCDs and solving their MP problems. Overall, their DPS magic spells will have their cast times reduced and they will also adjust the potency and required MP for healing (note:They said aspected helios in the previous live letter).

    From: Reddit Link
    More we will see tomorrow =)
