(Following up on job actions, part 3)

Horoscope
- If the goals of healer balances in ShB were to make each healer feel more distinct, this action goes against that grain because it still feels too similar to Plenary. This action is just weird. It feels like the red-headed stepchild of Earthly Star and Plenary Indulgence.
- I really like the huge benefit you get to Earthly Star when you plan its delayed use and think Horoscope could be adjusted to give more of that feeling.
- This action could benefit from both usability and healing adjustments.
- Firstly, allow Horoscope to be proc’d by Celestial Opposition. I really want an MP-free way to upgrade Horoscope to Horoscope Helios. Especially if the recommendations to Celestial Opposition listed above were made, this would greatly help the Nocturnal AST.
- Next, trigger the cure if the status effect times out on a character. Being within range for both the deploy and trigger is a lot to ask for. I think of o12s as an example when, as a healer; I can be very spread out from my teammates and using an ability like this would be nearly impossible.
- Increase the duration you have to upgrade Horoscope to Helios Horoscope from 10 seconds to 20 seconds. For Earthly Star, you just need to wait. With the addition of having to proc the upgrade, I find myself being rushed to proc Helios Horoscope; which usually makes me spend an unnecessary heal. This could be mitigated if I familiarized myself with encounters so I'm not throwing a GCD and a heal away but this change gives AST some more breathing room to plan healing output.
- Increase the cure potency of Horoscope from 100 to 200 and Horoscope Helios from 400 to 600.

These summarize the changes I would like to see to AST. I hope we get some of them for Savage, but I don't expect most of these to come until 5.1

Overall, I still enjoy AST and will continue to be an AST main, but I'll still fight for some reasonable balances.
