The issue with this is...what utility?
If you don't NEED the cards to do your job, what utility are you bringing?
Astrologians don't have particularly high damage, like Scholars. Â And their healing is not amazeballs, like White Mages. Â They don't bring very useful shields (even in Nocturnal, the shields are crap and smaller shields will refresh over larger ones), and their best tank CD is controlled by RNG. Outside of Essential Dignity, they bring no burst damage mitigation.
So...what other "utility" are they bringing if we're not looking at cards?
If we ARE looking at cards, the fact that they're totally RNG is a real issue.
