New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Astrologians how to Astrologian properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I’ll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general skill usage. Endgame is a long way away and there’s lots to learn along the way. Start slow and work your way up one skill at a time! Then, graduate to more advanced guides.

The ProZD references. I love it! I mained Astrologian through all the content I do so thank you so much for this.
Starting strong with that amazing intro JAKDKAKKRKAK
HELL YEAH!
So happy for this one! Levelling AST and been finding it confusing to play decently (more so than SGE even, lol)
Why is every opening so good?! ^_^ I'm a white mage main, but have been having fun doofing around with Astro, looking forward to learning more.
ah yes. button bloat the class. I love it. This is the only class where I have 4 hotbars for all my skills not to mention an entire hotbar for a play macro because targeting is hard sometimes
I feel like I have too many skills for my hotbars with Astologian trying to get it set up myself so using this to check if I got my 3 hot bars laid out correctly.
Edit: Good use of ProZD meme audio for this.
Edit2: moving some things from the dps bar to the heal bar but mostly correct.
edit3: See putting Sprint/limit break/sleep/rescue off your main hotbars to give some space is interesting especially since my main 36 is full ATM (with having call/uncall ascend set up.)
Synastry is something i rarely used cause I A) forget about it. and B) did not about how to use it.
And now I know how to use Astrodyne. Thanks for that tip.
Been waiting for this one
AST best healer in Endwalker !
always, ALWAYS hyped to see another guide <3
Watching this out of curiosity because I am not ready for healing…then realising I am that pesky DPS ;-;
Oh yes, I been waiting for this!. Am like a potato when it comes to Astrologer to the point I bought a skip because I knew the old play style was going to die so why bother with an empty husk. So I waited for something of this style, Thank you Wesker for this I needed this.
I'm bad at Healer because I'm not as fast with the buttons as I used to be. Mostly I just play healer because I want to know what the stories are and then go back to DPS. You're guides help me fake being good at the jobs so thank you.
I love the aesthetics of AST and thought it would be my main healer. But just like you said, I just couldn't get my head out of the card play. Too much going on that can easily distract from healing. I'll stick with Selene as my main until I have more time to practice.
Hey, I love ur series of FF14’s guides, it helped me so much… Could you please make one for Scholars 1 to 90, please? I saw that you made one but it was a Shadowbringers guide! I really appreciate all of your work on making videos like these <3 xoxo Have a good one
The fact that you are doing all of these job guides AGAIN shows great dedication. Your guides are fantastic. Thank you for your hard work!
Also I never would have guessed that Albert Wesker would be coaching me on Final Fantasy jobs. It's like a dream crossover 😆.
I'm leveling AST now, so this is perfect timing for me <3
Act makes card targets so easy lol
Hey, Random but I noticed you customized your WXHB bars, (the extra two Cross Hotbar things you can enable), How did you do that? Mine are completely uneditable!
small timestamp correction: horoscope has the wrong timestamp on it.
I wish i could give more than 1 like just for the first 45s. 😂
I definitely dont need this but watching it anyway
This video is perfect timing I'm going to be leveling my astrological from 80 to 90 soon!
I might be the odd one out of the bunch, but Astrologian became my favorite healer in this game because of how busy the job is. I just enjoy the versatile kit it has and the fact that there's other things to do outside of your one button attack and whenever healing isn't needed at the time.
Loved the job the moment I picked it up last year when I was in Heavensward and it's still my main healer now. Although I do agree that Lord and Lady of Crowns could be condensed to one button like in the PvP modes.
Dude, you keep delivering. I really hope you get the audience you deserve.
"it will make sense at 90" gives me ptsd cuz I have the 80 guides in mind o.o
I kinda main healer and play all 3 healers prior Endwalker. (4 after I tried Sage for couples of leveling roulette, and quite enjoyable)
Fortunately, I reach lv
50 Astro when the Endwalker came out. So kinda lucky that I get into Astro after the rework was done.
Now I really enjoy Astro very much (much enough I changed from WHM to Astro)
In fact, I just go have way through 5.3 and really struggle about how and when to use Neutral Sect. This clarifies things a lot.
Basically, I just use for enhancing my healing potency and think the shield as a bonus, or toggle it when either stack-up marker or raid wide damage (either before using Collective Unconscious or Unconscious on CD) seems legit enough I can think of for Neutral Sect.
Thank you
Ty
For cards, I set up an extra hotbar with 8 macros, and what they do is giving my current card to a specific player (example, macro nr. 7 gives the card to player 7). It makes the button bloat even worse, but it makes up for it by making giving the card to who I want way easier, since I don't have to change target back and forth between the enemy/tank and who gets the buff.
For anyone interested, the macro is /ac "Play" <1>
Copypaste the line about 7-8 times for each macro (helps with consistency if you have bad ping) and change the number from 1 to 8 for each macro. Top it off with /micon "play" (changes the macro icon to the play button, and it even changes automatically to show the card like the "normal" ability) and you're good to go
Gotta love that Undraw callback. I’m baffled it’s survived this long
Love the thumbnail dude! I got all my classes to 90 but i still click on your videos cause i enjoy watching them ❤
Watching all of these as they release, then gonna watch the full playlist, then watch the ones I need on loop. These are the most informative guides I've come across for just about anything
The thumbnails for your endwalker guides so far have been OUTSTANDING!
My AST opener inputs:
-30: Draw
Between -15 and -5 (To align with groupwide damage): Earthly Star
-2: Lightspeed
0: Combust (Target->Play->Draw->Tab target)
2.5: Malefic (Target->Play/Redraw->Draw/Minor Arcana-> Tab target)
5: Malefic (Target->Divination->Play->Tab target)
7.5: Malefic (Astrodyne/Draw->Minor Arcana/Lucid Dreaming)
From there I just kinda roll with things, play my last card then sigh with relief
Ah, The Undraw joke got me in the original video, and got me again in this guide. I applaud you.
This intro is comedy gold great video like normal
