Posting from the point of view of a DPS. You don't need to heal to understand how bad asts are performing. They show up in my groups and I have to deal with them as well. The job is trash in its current state.SE owes them a fix now, not in 3.1.

Well, technically you don't need a lv 60 job to understand its issues, as a healer i don't need to have a lv 60 DPS to understand their issues as well.
And if you pay attention, Kayleen and Derek know each other so obviously Derek knows a bunch of the healers job thanks to his friend, just like i know a bunch of the DPSs job thanks to my friend.
A1S p1 is easily solo healed by sch/whm and can be done on AST with no room for error (and the occasional death). Inform yourself next time before trying to be a smartass. :)
*edit* Also id like to point out that the reason we would solo heal p1 in the earlier weeks is because of the enrage timer and tight dps check.
In the early weeks of A1 savage, it was very common to have your white mage solo heal pre-split, while your scholar just dpsed. You pretty much needed sub 60% before split to have a hope.
Astro's do enough damage, if they let the SCH solo heal, however it's really taxing on their mana heading into the heal check part of the fight.
White Mages and Scholars can both solo heal phase 1 blindfolded, with one of their hands tied behind their back.
So you are in the camp of nerf white mage and scholars? Because that is the only thing you can imply and half your posts make sense since white mages and scholars are so godly and can heal this boring level content lets me to believe you think that they need a nerf.
