What do you want to see on Astrologian?

I'm an avid DPS healer, both WHM and SCH, but I'm quite interested in seeing where AST will take us. I'm all for AST being primarily healing/support, with the caveat that it keeps me busy and provides as much party support to equal the damage output of Holy or Shadowflare + DoTs. If playing AST brings strong party utility, good heals, and requires a good amount of finesse to maximize it's potential, I'll be happy with it, maybe even enough to switch mains.

I'm already planning to swap, but I hope the job has a high skill floor to differentiate between those who are serious about mastering it and those who think it "looks cool" (yes, I'm aware that you can be of both mindsets at the same time, but sometimes I feel like AST will wind up being the NIN or DRG of healers). Maybe I'm too much of a healing snob, but I am worried that with AST's flashy animations, if that is paired with a low skill floor AND no real need to Stance-dance, that it will become the haven for mediocre healers everywhere.

So far the baseline seems to be, "pick between a moderately less specialized SCH or WHM and remember to Draw every 30 seconds or so and you'll be fine", which makes me a little concerned. Of course, I'll wait until early access to make a more concrete judgement. And even if "lolAST" becomes a thing, I'm still super excited to play it, as I love healer/support hybrids, and I'm looking forward to mastering all of the job's nuances.
