Astrologian (Final Fantasy XIV)

Unreleased

Astrologian, is an upcoming job in Final Fantasy XIV, set to make its debut in the game's first expansion pack, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward.

Overview
"Ever has man coveted knowledge, and none more so than that of his fate. Thus did he labor to master the skill of foresight ― but initial efforts bore little fruit. That is, until he looked to the stars above, which foretell the coming seasons, and learned to read the heavens.

Though this gift is known today as astrology, the people of Sharlayan saw fit to not only read the stars, but to write their movements as well. By attuning their aetherial energies to that of constellations, they learned to wield magicks with heretofore unseen properties.

Thus was astromancy born ― a new form of magick which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana."

Role
Astrologians will be a healing job, much like White Mages and Scholars.

The job will use Star Globes, viewing devices with an enchanted deck of cards, as its weapon in battle. Astrologians tap into the power of the stars, astromancy, to cast potent healing magics and use constellation-based divination cards to support the party in battle. While in battle, the Astrologians will be able to switch a healer stance or a barrier stance. Depending on which stance they are in, the Astrologian's spell will give off a different effect.

Like with other jobs introduced in the expansion, Astrologian will have no base class and will start at level 30.

The Astrologian's Limit Break will be Celestial Stasis.
