I love astrologian. I unfortunately had to limit playing it because I got it to level 90 by the time I was finishing ARR on my alt (this is to give other jobs a chance at leveling and force myself to learn more about the game I previously ignored). When I made my first character I picked up white mage. While I enjoyed it, I felt I could do more. I tried Astrologian and fell in love with it. I'm not an expert, but I do like to think I have a basic understanding and a lot of room for growth.
It is my understanding this job is far from perfect.
What do you understand about current astrologian? How does it contrast from past AST?

If you were to condense this job, what is its core? What makes Astrologian tic in your opinion?

bonus question: I've found minor arcana to be underwhelming. The healing card can be nice but I rarely need it when I already have a plethora of other group heals to work with (and synastry if I am desperate to keep the tank alive). The damage card is a nice bonus- though I wish I could proc it more often. How might you tweak minor arcana?
