  • [7.0] Astro Time! Honestly, the rework they did to the card system was really good! I think the different cards help different situations and are more easily manageable. Also Oracle is super cool.

    I started Astro before the rework and started leveling it more afterwards, and it confused the heck out of me. Your guide's gonna make it a lot easier to understand it now!

    • @elgatochurro
      @elgatochurro 28 днів тому +5

      It's simple, the only major changes were to the cards.
      The cards are no longer just damage buffs and include niche uses to powerful effects like damage mitigation, shield, heal increase... Then damage plus more for ranged or melee

      Try malefic on two or less targets
      Gravity on 3 or more
      Use lord of crowns when available
      Keep your combust up
      If you do that you should be better than a good portion of astrologian players lol

    Gotta say your content for DT is leagues above your older videos. Not that they were bad, but I feel like you've really hit a good niche in the way you create your videos now. I like that you throw in little bits of optimisation too, like advising people to only ever use Benefic 1 if you're synced.

    I wish I'd been able to see this video before I tried to play AST in one of the nier raids the other day! I hadn't realized the new cards were different, I assumed the umbral card were, other than the spear, the same as the astral ones? not that it would have saved that nier raid >.>
    in any case, Thanks for the vid, and you got the glamour on point as always!

    Horoscope also works with helios, not just the aspected helios/conjunction. Depending on the amount of damage taken, you would want to use either helios or aspected helios/conjunction.

      Blizzard spells restore MP on use. (2500/5000/10000 depending on Umbral ice stacks)
      Thunderhead is just an indicator you can use Thunder.
      Thunder is now an instant cast always and is stronger than Endwalker. (And has no thunder cloud to deal with.)
      Paradox now only exists in astral fire and automatically gives a Fire starter proc (free fire III) instead of just a praying on a star and is also an instant cast.
      And the only other change in astral fire is the addition of Flare star at the end. (Which is available after using either Fire IV 6 times, or Flare Twice)
      Besides those changes Endwalker BLM to Dawntrail BLM is only changing a bit of muscle memory.

  • @FhtagnCthulhu
    @FhtagnCthulhu 24 дні тому

    I will be honest, I started playing AST in HW because I always loved time/gravity magic, but I always end up going back to it (no matter what changes) because of the animations.
    I mostly stick to easy content, so it doesn't happen much, but nothing feels as good as using the AST LB3 when the rest of your group wipes in an 8 man or alliance raid or something. (I suppose in hard content you can't really salvage a run like that anyway)

    • @angelking1989
      @angelking1989 28 днів тому +1

      the new card system is not harder to play coz the order for it is "fixed", u have no RNG now, but being AST the gimmack as AST, its becoz u should never know wat card u draw and use the "watever" u draw card. When its fixed now, u can just hold the certain card for it becoz no more rng and always 3 cards with u, the identity as AST is gone becoz of this new card system.

      @@angelking1989 RNG was never their identity...Their identity was the healer that could further support their allies with cards that have different effects, which they have more of now than in ShB and EW. Honestly, RNG for a class in an MMO isn't good design and I'm glad it's gone and so are the majority of AST players apparently.

      Because you can spend less time healing and more time throwing our malefics and gravitys since they heal more per cast.

      @elgatochurro 28 днів тому

      As you get through more and more expansions, cure 1 REALLY isn't worth it... The potency of the heal drops off so much eventually.
