FFXIV Astrologian guide

01 Jul 2017

Astrologian is stance based healer, which can an fill in both main- and off- healer roles. This guide aims mostly to help new players which just got job crystals and have only vague idea how to play as an Astrologian. On the other hand I hope some experienced players may find some useful tips as well. Please note that I’m not going to describe each skill, because there is a very detailed official Astrologian skills and abilities guide here which can be used for further reference.
