Thread: Astrologian 5.0 Discussion

I was pretty heated about the Astrologian changes when they came around. Primarily with the loss of card identity and the emotional response elicited by each card when drawn. I actually like the mechanical changes for the most part with the seals and focusing on single target buffs (never liked that I didn't have to choose a target in raids), but they may as well remove all 6 cards and change it into purely Lord and Lady for melee and range, with Minor Arcana acting as an Enhanced Royal Road by sacrificing the seal. This setup for the cards would make way more sense than the current one where you're really just associated cards with melee or ranged and not what they are because that doesn't matter; it's clutter at this point. If they want to get rid of the theme of each card, they should actually commit to it.

But still, I haven't played it, so I've come to terms that I should cool off and reserve critique until then. I have a feeling I'm just going to level my Astrologian first through the MSQ and then switch to a Dancer to get that fun, random proc styled support character.
