Thanks for MrHappy and Spofie for letting me use some of their footage! You can check them out in the links below 😀
This video is my thoughts on the Astrologian job going into Endwalker, these changes are tentative and are subject to change, especially potencies so keep that in mind. We’ll have an updated video after the release of Endwalker when we have more hands on with the job.

Saw Momo healer vid –> Instant click
Another video! Nice touch on pick Amaurot for background 🙂 nice video and analysis widepeepoHappy
This was very insightful! Thank you Momo <3
Spoiling us with your content 😀 Great vids looking forward to the others!
really appreciate your content as someone getting into end game healing
Why play whm when ast is just this strong… whm feels like its the worst of the 4 rn
i like the removal of sleeve draw. When ast has too much control over seals it makes a lot of what you're doing in fights fiddling around with seals for raidbuff window right now, but also it stops feeling like a fortune teller job bc you're basically just redrawing constantly.
I stopped the video the second you said "Stellar". Thanks, I hate it.
THIS is the astro video I've been looking for. Thank you!
Hell yeah, excellent content as always, really hope you get invited to the next media tour.
i just feel like they gave one of AST's biggest advantages (mobility and weaving space) to every healer and didn't give them much in return for that. astrodyne rng looks like it's gonna be v unsatisfying at times
Thank you as always for your analysis. 🙂 Cannot wait for your thoughts on WHM. I am really torn between WHM and Astro. I used to main Astro, but went WHM with ShB, because I never really vibed with the ShB Astro. I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on WHM, after seeing this video. Wonder how those two will compare.
Microcosmos only works as a Bene if they take all 9s damage. Normal tank busters wouldn't full heal a DRK on Living Dead.
Thank you for the video Momo 😀 I wanna ask, wouldn´t it be better to use astrodyne as soon as you get the necessary cards nstead of waiting for the 2min buff window? So let's say a fight which is 9 minutes-ish (?), I would get 5 uses of astrodyne if I use it at 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 minutes (maybe an extra 6th time at 9 minutes depending on how far you are into the fight); If I were to use it at only 2 minute buff windows, I would only use it 4 times. Would it then be determined by kill time instead of buff alignment? Or is it 2 minutes because you are considering the holding of the cards to also interact with the buff window so it would be higher damage overall? Thanks for the videos, they are always very informative and I am looking forward to the rest of the healer video analysis 😀
Comment for the algorithm.
I would like if the seals gave different buffs per combination, so we'd be looking at different combinations on certain times not just 3 different seals all the time… Maybe either drop the damage buff and change it for something less "mandatory" or just apply it on every combination on top of their idividual buff so no one combination feels the best all the time and bringing back the feel of making do with what RNG got you that we had in HW/SB
With Draw now stacking up to two and each Draw allowing for one Redraw, is gathering seals actually that much less likely?
I like most of the changes but I HATE the new Minor Arcana
Both this and the sch video are super interesting and in depth, thanks for these videos momo and I look forward to the next ones!
Love you Momo <3
Thanks for all the healer coverage!
I have to agree removing sleeve draw kinda sucks too, and another thing to mention about redraws was that if you were faced with a situation of running out of redraws (going into 2min) you could lord/ lady the card for another 2 chances of drawing+redraw for the correct seal
Another thing that bothers me about royal road is that you almost want to pull lord every single time as it's an oGCD which you could further trade for a much higher potency heal than lady. Not to mention that parsing as an AST is going to be a lot more rng than before (especially with 2+ targets). I don't mind the rng side of AST but i do hope square enix revises this and makes changes to it where decision making between the 2 cards is more balanced then biased
I have a Question here, at 4:27 you state the ability Macrocosmos can replace benediction and heal tanks to full, after Living dead, but Living dead does not do damage to the DRK instead it take their health to 0 but the Ability states "Damage taken." Did this get tested on a DRK using Living dead because I am now hearing alot of contradicting stories about its use.
Great video, thank you.
Btw Earthly star already does damage.
inb4 ast rng gets people mad in optimization runs
as an AST main, removing sleeve draw is my only concern currently bc the job changes looks really good <3 and if by chance they could make draw/play and minor arcana/crown play one button that would be heaven lol
Momo great video and all but I gotta what is that coat called? I might like to use it.
This sounds like hell to optimize, I might stick to WHM this expansion. Thanks for the insight Momo!
OLD LORD IS BACK OOOOOH I LOST
Jokes aside the draw charges feels like one step forward and then 2 steps back with the removal of sleevedraw.
Now with the seals being a personal, as opposed to a raid buff, Im inclined to think pugs wont be as willing to give me a 20s countdown so I can get all 3 seals in the opener.
I wish we could activatee astrodyne without having all seals
I think the way to fix Astrodyne is to change Draw into Sleeve Draw at some point during leveling.
Edit: Exaltation is just better Excog. Man, my SCH heart just fucking hurts.
Edit 2: I really don't like the Lord/Lady changes either. I'd rather they either both be a damage card or, I think my preferred change, one's an AoE heal with a Regen and the other's an AoE heal with a shield. Still a hard thing to plan around, but a nice bonus heal every-so-often.
I was kinda dissapointed to hear AST became a pure healer. I think it's biggest personality was being a neutral healer. But since AST is destined to be reworked in every expansion we can be 70% sure we'll get a pure healer (chemist? Oracle?) in 7.0 and AST will be reworked to a Neutral healer again, lol
new AST abilities look really cool and the 90 ability looks great compared to SCH's lvl 90 ability
“So, you’re curious to see how Astrologian has changed in Endwalker… Stellar .”
PLEASE ITS ONLY BEEN 8 SECONDS
Really hope minor arcana can become a gcd skill to provide windows for other ogcd skills especially when gcd reduces 10% under 2 seals.
I do feel like WHM is gonna get shafted hard this expansion. AST is looking cracked. Sage and SCH looks great and can even be played together much like how Diurnal AST and WHM can play together in ShB.
Dude it's so fucking sadge that Momo of all people wasn't invited to the Media Tour. Dude's videos are top notch. Informative, detailed, not too long, showcasing his vast knowledge and experience and very entertaining.
Since macrocosmos is classed as a spell does that mean spell speed effects its recast? That was so neat with empyrial arrow back in HW. Im a fan of losing sleeve draw because the feeling of winning a jackpot hasnt been there since HW.
Love the videos Momo, simple, clean and to the point.
ShB Astros: " I'm here for you."
EW Astros: "Eat this damn card and make me stronger!!!"
If you're not willing to tempt fate, and twist the way time flows, why do you play Astrologian?
Athiest: S**t happens
Buddhist: Sit happens
Witch: Soot happens
Astro: Sat will have happened eventually.
