Astrologian was added at the start of the Stormblood expansion and begins at level 50. The job also has no corresponding class so all abilities earned are on the job itself. In order to become an Astrologian you must complete the following quest.

Quest	NPC	Location	Conditions
Stairway to the Heavens	Jannequinard	Ishgard, The Pillars (X:15 Y:10)	Quest: Before the Dawn

For each quest you complete, you will be rewarded with a new ability, while the latter quests will also reward you with artifact (AF) armour that is shown in the screenshot above.

Introduction to Astrologian

Astrologian is a healing job with no associated class. Its role is to restore the HP of party members that take damage from monsters, cure bad status effects from party members and to revive fallen members of the party upon death. The Astrologian can also deal damage with Holy, Aero and Stone but this should be seen as secondary to everything else.

Attributes

As a Astrologian your main attribute is Mind (MND) as this increases healing magic potency. You should be focusing on equipment with this stat. For secondary stats you should be focusing on the likes of Spell Speed, Direct Hit Rate, Determination and Critical Hit Rate in addition to simply boosting MND.

Spell Speed and Critical Hit Rate are self explantory in what they do. For the other two, Determination is used to boost the damage dealt by all attacks and the amount of HP recovered when healed while Direct Hit Rate is Stormblood's replacement for Accuracy. Instead of a simple hit or miss effect that Accuracy could give, having low Direct Hit Rate for a fight will reduce damage dealt so it is important to improve this stat.

Stances

Astrologian have two stances. These are called Diurnal Sect and Nocturnal Sect and the difference is that one is a healing stance similar to a WHM while the other makes use of barriers like a SCH. You can switch between them, but only outside of combat.

Depending on which stance you are in the effects of your spells will differ so it will be important to learn when best to use each stance.

Cards

Cards will play a role for the Astrologian's play style as you will be able to draw cards at random that give you one of the following effects.

Card	Description	Royal Road Effect
The Balance	Increases target's damage dealt by 10%. Duration: 15s	Next card has a potency of 150%.
The Bole	Reduces target's damage taken by 10%. Duration: 15s	Next card has a potency of 150%.
The Arrow	Increases target's attack speed by 10%. Duration: 15s	Next card's effect has an AoE with 50% potency.
The Spear	Reduces target's action recast time by 20%. Duration: 20s	Next card's effect has an AoE with 50% potency.
The Ewer	Reduces MP cost of target's spells by 20%. Duration: 20s	Next card's effect has double duration.
The Spire	Reduces TP cost of target's weaponskills by 20%. Duration: 20s	Next card's effect has double duration.

Actions

Actions are skills that the Astrologian can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Astrologian actions are exclusive to that job.

Role Actions

Since the Stormblood expansion for FFXIV, cross class actions were removed and replaced with the concept of "role" actions. Role actions are more generic as they don't belong to specific classes, but instead to roles such as melee DPS, magic DPS, healer or tank. The Astrologian can equip up to 5 of these.

PvP Actions

From the Stormblood expansion PvP was revamped significantly and you can no longer use PvE actions during PvP battles. That means all of the actions above you can no longer use in PvP. Action Points (AP) were also removed. While some of the dedicated PvP actions do have the same name, they will have different potencies or effects. Below are the PvP actions that are unique to the Astrologian. There exists even more PvP actions and even traits but these are not unique to the Astrologian. You can find these further down the page.
