They should just delete AST

[Alistaire]

All they did is reverse the stats you will heal better but the shield mitigation is less. Before u front heal was less bits stronger shield for damg mitigation. I hope this make sense. Not the best in English.

If before you cured for 10k the shield would have been 250% of that, meaning 25k shield.

Now if you cure with the same gearset that 10k is now 20k, and the shield is 125% of that....so 25k shield.

You're forgetting the Ridorana Lighthouse already proved a majority of the playerbase cant math.

Or that's precisely why I did the math for them? Afterall, there were like 5 posts already showing the formula.

You are delusional, astrologian is pure garbage, I loved AST when it was introduced, all cards had something unique, what is it now? A goldfish Job. That gives all balances, that function all the same.

Someone having a positive opinion isn't delusion, it's just an opinion.

Shield din't get nerf.

100x250%= 250

200x125% =250

It's not an opinion, it's a statement. And yeah, totally delusional.

AST is absolute garbage right now, along with SMN. They oversimplified everything so it's easier for the devs to balance, but that's all about it. Easier for them, bad for the players.

Never ever an oversimplification in a MMORPG has been a good idea. They did something similar in SWToR. That's when the game officially died.

I love you for this statement!

But when playing old AST, all you ever wanted to draw was Balance.
The rest was crap.
Spear was ok but not Balance.
Arrow was ok for SAM and BLM but not Balance.
Bole was Minor Arcana fodder.
Ewer was either MP when you didn't need it, or Divination taking up a card slot.
Spire was Divination taking up a card slot.

Then you didn't play AST properly, and because os "ASTs" like you we real ASTs were destroyed.

Opinions =/= facts. Compared side by side to other healers, can they still do the same things and complete all levels of content? The answer to the latter is yes, the answer to the former is merely true or false. If a healer cannot heal, then it's garbage. Do they have considerably lower potency for skills compared to the other healers? I understand identity and lore for some actions, DRK being gutted was a real heavy hit to the connecting story. But it still werk.

And don't take my post as mocking please, I really would like to know and ask that someone please respond minus personal gripes and seething snark.

Looks like ast numbers are still down. RIP.
