Astrologian changes feedback

[Aravell]

I could probably give a chance to an RNG-less Astro for an expansion. But losing the high APM of the job at the same time? No, absolutely not!

I live for AST's hectic burst windows, it's the only healer job that keeps me from getting bored out of my mind in normal mode content and harder content on farm. For the love of the twelve, please, don't dumb it down!

I agree. As someone who disliked ShB/EW AST because they ripped out my utility to turn every card into just damage, I at least still enjoyed AST because while there was less thinking to do, there was still optimisation and the fast pacing was still there.

This Dawntrail change is the absolute worst of both worlds. It pretends to be SB cards by shouting in your face "Hey, I do different things!", but there is none of the RNG manipulation of SB cards, there is no working towards your goal, everything is handed to you on a platter every minute. And they couldn't even bother keeping the fast pacing for those of us who enjoyed it.

As for those who say "You're playing and weaving more cards than before!", you get 3 cards every minute, 2 of which are situational and the last one you'll save for the burst window, in no situation are you hectically weaving all 6 cards in a burst window. Plus, you'll only play 2 cards (+Lord, which is an AoE and doesn't require switching targets) during burst, in what world is that a similar speed to what we have now?

Honestly I doubt I'll really be weaving a "single target heal card" in a lot, something tells me that astro already has more then enough healing and I don't think they're suddenly going to up the healing requirements unless they force us, I guess ill just place the mitigation on the tank if im about to hit the 1 minute mark for my next set of cards...
