FFXIV: Endwalker Astrologian 1 to 90 Leveling Skills Guide
Рет қаралды 140,660
Күн бұрынPatch 6.4: Divination size doubled.
Collective Unconscious will now have a large burst of light, 30y large. This will apply the 10% damage reduction. Enter the bubble to refresh the timer. Timer of damage reduction now 5 seconds, rather than unlisted.
Patch 6.2: Redraw now guarantees a different Seal. Minor Arcana is now one button.
Patch 6.1: Combust is now 30 seconds... ok
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.

Let's say you're waiting to move forward (example: Royal City of Rabanastre, making your way through the waterways, and you're the first ones at the intersection), and you have two signs, and you don't get a new one with redraw, but you know it's going to be more than 30 seconds before you get to the next combat. Undraw to have another chance at getting three signs. Yes, I found an EXTREMELY niche use for Undraw. Would I be upset if it vanished? ABSOLUTELY not. However, I thought people wanted players to have more options, even if they were useless ones like Undraw.
@arnoudjanki Жыл бұрын
Before I watched your video, I already dropped undraw, but what I did do was aiming for 3 signs too intensely. However, I noticed I had to redraw or draw so many times extra instead of playing cards, not buffing anytime at all. I eventually just started playing cards trying to aim them on the right dps. Even if I didn’t get the right cards for the right dps, I played them anyway, because 3% increased damage is still 3% in stead of waiting 30secs and not giving a buff at all. I guess people might judge me, but for me this gives me a way better feeling which feels just right even if it may not be ideal. Thank you for your videos, they helped me soo much 😁

An outstanding guide you’ve made here! Until I had to pay attention to different job icons, I had no idea which DPS icons were melee/ranged or even the name associated with each one. What’s helped me is left clicking on a party member in the list and hitting “view search info.” It shows a list of every job they’ve leveled with its icon by category. I’ll pull it up on myself and set it off to the side at the beginning of a raid or if I get confused in a dungeon. It’s a great little cheat sheet to check while learning! The best AST starting tip I’ve gotten so far was from Jolsn FFXIV’s guide. Bring your party list closer to the middle of the screen. Set up a vertical hotbar on the left so that the icons line up with each party member name (you might have to mess with the scaling and placement a bit but it’s worth it). Create a play button macro for each target on that hotbar. He even gives a list of macros that you can copy and paste into each slot so you don’t have to write them yourself. It takes one step out of having to draw, then target the desired player, then press play. Instead you just draw and click the macro button next to the target name.

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 lv50 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

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" 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

Enjoying consulting this guide. I'm almost at lvl 40 on Astro as I write this and I've been enjoying myself blazing through low level dungeons. The card thing is rather hassle free and I do not really worry about it. Contrasting this mainly with how Scholar felt in the early dungeons, I do miss Eos's Embrace but as a trade off Astrologian feels truly unchained, I don't really need to play around Aether charges to bust out the big heals. I also do miss Ruin II from Scholar but Lightspeed is interesting enough on its own.
@Rewwgh 5 ай бұрын
Reached level 90 today. Took me those 8 months because I had been playing on and off. Generally I really enjoy the high octane gameplay Astrologian has, multiple things to track and press with the right timing. Buffing friendly damage is great. However I just generally feel less safe playing AST than Scholar. And a big part of it is Lightspeed as well as the lack of a fairy. I also cannot stress how nice Ruin II and Expediency are for mobility. When I want a more hectic and channeling healing experience, I definitely want to go Astro. But for general day to day stuff, Scholar is still my preference.

Thank you so much for the video - it was absolutely fantastic. I love the job - it's why I started playing Final Fantasy XIV Online in the first place. But I have to say -- the damage output? "Subpar" doesn't even begin to describe it. It might not matter when grouped with other doing dungeons, trials, raids and whatnot, but when forced into solo duties, it becomes tragically apparent. After dying three times in rapid succession in the "Worthy of Her Back" quest, I decided to take an extended break until patch 7.0 is released (I understand this will be the second time that the job has been retooled), as it's supposed to resolve balancing issues. If so, I sincerely hope that damage output is at the top of the list of things that were addressed

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.

I wish you had covered mouseover macros a bit when playing cards on team members. I just finished the cards/further tips section and I didnt see it. So what it does to anyone curious: If you hover your mouse over a party member's name (in the party list) or over their actual character and activate the macro, it immediately assigns your current card to that person without having to select them. This results in a lot more streamlined experience where you dont constantly have to target switch in order to manage cards while also healing/doing damage

It's called Soft Targetting, but there's an option that makes switching to a party member a Hard target. That still doesn't mean I like Astro, but it eases the pain a bit

Awesome video here and excellent coverage. You do have a minor error about Macrocosmos though: you said 100 potency for every enemy after the first but 40% less is 60% which, of 250 potency, is actually 150 potency. Just thought anyone watching this should be aware.

I made a account YEARS ago, but I have around a level 80 Astrologian. I want to get back in the game but I honestly don't remember anything of there kit. I'm kinda nervous to get back in, because I don't want to que up for something my level and fail the team as there healer.

Late comment but just let the group know at the start of the run. MOST people won't care that much, and the ones that do *shrug* just get through the run and you'll never see them again. I very much prefer when people let me know they're uncomfortable before I try a wall to wall pull and end up dying.

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.

Synastry is one of AST's absolute best buttons imo. When other healers run out of oGCD heals, they're just stuck with wimpy GCD heals. AST has Synastry to super power their GCDs with a bunch of other potential flexibility on it.

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

While I do technically agree with Wesker here, you will be burning through gear so fast that it won't matter. Between quest rewards and dungeon loot you will be getting upgrades fast. After ARR the only gear you can equip will focus on mind primarily anyway. Secondary stat priorities only become important in current endgame content

What's your opinion on the new card system? Personally i dont like how they removed sleeve draw, and the lady and lord of crowns being a separate draw and totally reliant on rng. It felt like you had more control on the outcome of your cards during shb.
