How is new AST feeling?

[NegativeS]

I'm at work and haven't been able to look at the new stuff, but I was kinda hyped for the new AST changes, even if it means losing Nocturnal Sect.

Anyone have a chance to poke at it?

I think it's too early to get a good opinion on anything "new," but I guess, if I had to say anything, it feels, oddly, faster (and not just because of Astrodyne).

Astrodyne's working exactly like I think it does (in that, I'll typically get the Haste, but not necessarily the Damage+, and I'm fine with that), Earthly Star's new radius is literally engulfing the Goblet, I still refuse to use Undraw, and I'm throwing out passive aggressive particle effect spirals everywhere.

The stat squish has also made the numbers kinda interesting, in that I think we might see Cure spammers see some success, so I guess the expansion was a triumph for Sylphies. (But like I said, it's probably too soon to tell)

If someone's somehow are out of Earthly Star's effective healing range, I'm no longer adjusting to heal them.

Feels good, though too many buttons for my liking. Maybe minor Arcana can be tweaked, and the healing/MP of Helios and Benefic tweaked so that Aspected Helios/Benefic II become uogrades on the same slot.

I am really enjoying the new Astro, I myself find forget to use the Minor Arcana, bur that will come in time, 1 shuffle is a bit low I think (I miss my 3 shuffles XD) and the new seal system is neat

Earthly Star is so large it looks like a Limit Break. I can't imagine why they thought it needed to be so huge.

While I think Minor Arcana's effects are okay, having it be two separate buttons feels awkward to me. I hope they make it one button again.

For ASTs to properly assert their Giant Dominance when the Start pops after 10 seconds. xD

Ah, but what will really perplex you is how tanks will still manage to find ways to pull all the trash mobs and themselves out of its range.

So far I'm actually enjoying it slightly better than SCH, but I'll make my true verdict when all healers reached lv90.

Oh yeah, so far I've seen at least 4 players managed to stand outside of the Earthly Star's supernova semi consistently. I guess I shouldn't be surprised? lmao.
