ASTROLOGIAN NEEDS BUFF

Okay. I am very displeased with the new class, Astrologian. I have a level 52 Astrologian and all that I see with this class is a White Mage copy with little pieces of Scholar moves thrown in here and there. I wouldn't mind this, but the class is SIGNIFICANTLY worse at healing than White Mage and Scholar (I have a level 51 White Mage). I do indeed use the cards to their potential, yet they are not big enough of an influence to nerf the class's heals so much. Most of the teams I've been partied with have said they see no difference. I desperately seek a buff to this class. I hope others shall see what I mean and feel the same way :)

I am a "raider". I mained scholar for a year, and used WHM for raid as well for one month. I have experience in cutting-edge progression from T6-T13, my group was also Lamia's first-clear group on T11,12, 13. I hope these would support my opinion and feelings about this new healer job.
Overall this job feels underwhelming, it requires high skill to play well, but the rewards in return (those buffs from cards) is too small and even negligible most of the time. I feel there's something seriously wrong with the statistic tuning of the skills (buff potency/duration/radius etc.). If I had time I would write a detailed thread myself.. But please consider buff this job as soon as possible (Before Alexander raid comes out).
Below are links from both US and JP forums that shows how disappointing most of the AST players feel:

All the new jobs need a buff square made them way to weak due to Ninjas being way to strong, poor Machinist/Bard ;n; may they regain their play styles soon.

Thats normal. People will react better to buffs than to nerfs. so before we have the forum flooded with negative bitching they set it lower and get some bitching and many feedback what could be made better.
