Astrologian Speculations! How will it fit in?

[Ghishlain]

This would be my dream come true, but the player base would start rioting if the healer can't go into some Cleric stance and DPS.

While I can see some people complain about a lack of offensive capability from a healer, I think if S-E made it clear that "this particular tool was never intended to be part of the AST toolkit", it would appease the majority of players.

If AST can supplement their lack of DPS with DPS boosting support, that would put AST in a good spot for not having offensive capability.

Leveling may be an issue, but since there's a plan to have the new "extra Jobs" start at a higher level, my guess is the minimum level AST will begin at is 15 or 16 so they can jump into Low Level DR and dungeon grind from the get go.
