FFXIV: Astrologian in 6 Panels
Ok, let's start with explaining the joke to the people with lives, who wouldn't get this:
Final Fantasy XIV is a MMORPG, which features the Astrologian job that you can play as.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/.....ki/Astrologian
It's a healer job that specializes in giving beneficial effects to party members, however it does so on random. You draw one of 6 cards, and based on the result, you take appropriate action:
-you can redraw and pick a card you'd actually want
-you can set it aside for later
-you can discard it to add a specific effect to the next card that you'd use
-and if all else fails, you could discard the card to get a random chance of getting a super healing or super damage dealing move.
It's this crazy big tree of possibilities, which change depending on the situation that your party is in.... so what better way to joke about it, than take the first episode of Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series, and recreate that iconic scene, adding the whole Redraw mechanic to the bit, heh.
-Seto Kaiba as a Scholar (different healer job)
-Yugi/Yami as an Astrologian
Note 1#: No, I didn't draw a "Blue Eyes White Fairy" for Seto.... but I did think about it.
Note 2#: Please don't tell me that Spire doesn't suck or the like, please! I don't play the job anymore, cause I got overwhelmed by the cards, but from the guides that I read, people consistently said that Spire is just used for Royal Road, cause nobody really needs TP, supposedly.
Note 3#: I don't think I'll make a comic about White Mage, seems like too much work, and I have trouble coming up with something!
Apologies if this is confusing for my followers, heh. I'm not even fully happy with this, but I'm glad to be done with this one

Your comment truly made my day, and made me feel like it was worth it ^_^
I play White Mage myself. Scholar was just too hard for me, and while Astrologian seemed fun, I just... could not wrap my head around the card mechanics. I started asking people if I should prioritize healing over cards, and even then people gave me contradictory opinions on it, so I dropped out.
Maybe the next Expansion will give me a new healer to try, and that will be my alt, however if it would turn out to be a dud, or no new healer would be brought in, I could return to AST, just cause I really like the support it can offer

For the while that I played AST, I certainly appreciated Bole as well, mostly cause I knew I could use it on the tank and all.
Astrologian was fascinating, but overwhelming to me. I just could not get how to use the cards properly, and when I had to heal at the same time, it felt like too much.
Here's hoping for a new healer job in the next expansion....... not that I'd mind being WHM for longer

Aye, I had such bad luck with my cards, and GEEE, I don't get how people wrap their hands around all this. It's nuts!
Me: It's always about the balance, right?
"Well, mostly, but you should utilize cards like Bole or Spear as well"
Me: Ok, I shall put it away for use later, now I just need to Royal Road a good card to launch...
*Draws the Balance*
"Oh man, you n00b, you now have to waste a perfectly good Balance, without any effects!"
Me: WHAT?! WHAT DID I DO?!!?!?
