Overall a little confused...

2. The weapon for an Astrologian - He doens't really have auto attack. So what does the weapon actually do? Aside from the stats on it, nothing? Does weapon damage for spell casters affect damage.

Just wanted to correct an error I made, for some reason I thought you said Arcanist when you said Astrologian. They still have an auto attack, they smack enemies with their hand when in close not a book. My bad

I wanted to make a correction to this, since It doesnt look like anyone else caught it. AST auto attack damage is considered slashing damage, they are attacking with a card not just their hand. That makes AST and RDM the only mages that deal slashing damage.
