Astrologian Rework: Planet and Cards

[RSS News]

Hello Healers,

Astrologian is very special job for me, it is the first healer that I invest in it in FFXIV but after I have seen from dawntrail rework I was disappointed, so I want to share my thought of Astro rework.


Planet system:

Combust III & Fall Malefic spells will be replaced by 3 GCDs (Malefic Uranus, Malefic Pluto, Malefic Neptune):

Astro will have 3 type of GCDs that can be pressed in any order, each order will have different Effect.

example:
Currently we have 1 2 11111111 2 1111111
What I suggest 123 321 132 231 (in any order)

Malefic Uranus (GCD) (2.88 recast) (2.5 cast):

if the target is enemy: deals 350 potency
if no target it will direct heal all party 350 potency
if the target is ally: direct heal 500 potency

if was last spell in combo it will:
- deal 440 potency
- Heal all team by 80 potency
grant 1 stack.

Malefic Pluto (GCD) (2.88 recast) (2.5 cast):

if the target is enemy: deals 350 potency
if no target it will regen all party 350 potency in 15 second
if the target is ally: regen 500 potency in 15 second

if was last spell in combo it will:
- deal 440 potency
- Health regen all team by 80 potency in 10 second (27 potency each 3 second)
grant 1 stack.

Malefic Neptune (GCD) (2.88 recast) (2.5 cast):

if the target is enemy: deals 350 potency
if no target it will shield all party 350 potency in 15 second
if the target is ally: shield 500 potency in 15 second

if was last spell in combo it will:
- deal 440 potency
- Shield all team by 80 potency
grant 1 stack.

Each 3 stack will give Astrologian planet (max of 8).
8 planet will empower Divination to 6% damage increase to 10% damage increase.

combos will be applied on enemies only.


Card System:

doing any type of combo will allow you to use Astral Draw that will:

1- replace Malefic Uranus and Malefic Pluto and Malefic Neptune with 3 GCD cards
2- draw 4rth GCD card will be Lord of Crowns or Lady of Crowns (60 second cooldown) .

let me explain 3 cards:

1- Buff increase damage for the next GCD by 450 potency on self or party member.

2- Buff increase GCD damage 10% to self or party member. (better for jobs that have high damage GCD but few OGCDS like Warrior and Black mage).

3- Buff increase GCD damage 6% and OGCD by 6% to self or party member. (better for jobs that have a lot of OGCDs like Gunbreaker and Viper).

Cards type will be known but knowing is it for DPS or Tank that is random.
