Ok, I am about to say something to any and all none Astro Healers in this thread, that I hope you will see before complaining about Astro's wanting their card mechanic back. We know that we have a more flexible playstyle with more instant casts. (Which we got in order to give us more time to use the Card system mind you). Most of us know that other healers (Or a t least white Mages specifically) really should be given similar mechanics. Frankly I would LOVE it if the White Mage attack spells +cure functioned the same as Astro spells, (I don't feel Scholar needs it, as it has it's own alternative in the forms of Bio and Ruin 2, though I would like to have my other DoT's back... but that's another conversation entirely). The fact of the matter is that we shouldn't be attacking one another (Hell we shouldn't be attacking SE), we need to be constructive and try to facilitate a conversation about how much we as a community don't like the Healer changes, and that means creating threads and discussing every issue or complaint we have about said changes.
This Thread is about the Astro Card system and how many Astro's feel dissatisfied with seeing their ICONIC mechanic get lobotomized. Unless you are an Astro player who does not want them to change the system back, why the heck are you arguing about this? If anything you shouldn't want Astro to become the Balance bank as that is only going to make it MORE META, not less. So please be respectful of others and their desire for the class that they play. Furthermore I want to see more threads discussing more specific issues with he different classes, scholar's DPS being oversimplified and made incredibly boring, and White Mages time resource issues (They made Holy a freaking cast bar spell!) just to name a couple. SE won't know where they went wrong unless we try to communicate are opinions to them.
