That is the kind of fun skills I'd love to see. Both for giving a way to quickly swap position but also make it somehow play into having a close-range aoe attack. Like you get a bonus to it if you first attack from afar then got in close as a finisher. Or given each healer their own variant of Rescue. Scholar's could be a Duty Action, letting them be pulled to wherever Lily is standing when used when they're in a party with a sch.

Think on of the reasons for being able to unlock every job on one character was to avoid skill/talent trees altogether. Instead of feeling like you can specialize within a class, changing jobs is that specialization. At least, think that was the idea. Current playstyles of healers does not lend much to that tought.

i meant like change the entire kit of a class and give it a whole different skill set from what it currently has.
i'm sorry if i wasn't clear.
is that ok?

At this point I really just want the Fey Gauge to be more useful. I don't mind Aetherpact and Fey Blessing is pretty neat as well - but outside of higher end content I can't think of many instances where my gauge wasn't constantly at 100. Barring the occasional 'I NEED TO PREVENT A WIPE, EOS GO TETHER THE TANK SO I CAN HARD RAISE' debacle. I'd love for it to include some DPS spells but that's asking too much given the way things currently stand for healers...

HY there

As was an astrologian main, i can tell i loved the old astrologian far more. It was perfect. The feeling to play with it was far sperior and far much unique than any class even worldwode not just in FF. Now astrologian is nothing... can do nothing, and its buff dont do anything compared to the real astrologian what it was in stormblood.
Astrologian is something like prophetess. Fate guides you nothing else. If the fate gives you The Bole card, go and find a use for it. It have so many way to use that card. The new astrologian, well, i wont call those things cards anymore, much more a piece of paper with some low lvl enhancement, nvm, so the real thing, this astrologian is not astrologian anymore.
The real astrologian was the old one, what was guided by fate (RNG cause fate is probably is that) and followed by luck and creativity, to find use for what fate choses for you.

But to take aways from the "RP" side of the class, astroologian old card system was far superior and enjoyable in every way. Every card has its own use. For me, as a not that professional gamer, ewer was everything. Free mana? Jesus, need.
But for other options, with AOE + Bole combo + aspected helios with nocturnal was a great boss aoe mechanic blocker. What is main priority in this game afterall. Yet its gone.
Other realy useful thing was for me in dungeon runs, it was pretty much helpful The Arrow card, for faster recasts and such.
In other situations, a +50% buffed The Spear card was a very nice buff for a dragoon or other high dmg dps to melt even bosses in no time.
So please, peoples... The Balance is not the only card. As that it is most worthless card in the whole deck. Yes, the combination effect to gives +50% to the effect of the next used card was good. But realy... still that was the lowest card in the deck.
Cause as a healer, my role is not dmg buff but saveing the group. And well, dmg dont gives defense nor anything else. For dps boost, there is many support class like Bard for example or now Dancer.

But please, be somewhat "realistic". The role of the healer is not to support damage output of the dps's. Its role save them and heal them.

So anyway, i prefer the old astrologian much more. For player experience and for usefulness too. I hope Developers will see the logic in this and hope they undo this astrologian called charlatan.

Fate be with you everyone.

For WHM one could free up two slots to use for new/lost abilities/spells on the hot-/cross-bar through new traits by letting Medica I change into Afflatus Rapture, and Cure I into Afflatus Solace, while lilies are available.

I can't really think of a situation at higher levels (with all our mp regen and size of pulls) where one use Cure I or Medica I instead of Tetragrammaton/Afflatus Solace or Rapture, as AS and AR cost no mp and are instant, and if there are no abilities to burst heal, then one would most likely use Cure II/Medica II. There used to be a difference in cast-time of Medica I/II if I recall correctly, but that's no longer the case, and the difference in mp use is quite small. Cure I is 1s faster than Cure II, but in my opinion it's not certain the heal from Cure I would be powerful enough to save anyone with the 1s spared.
