Why people says AST is bad?

[Hysterior]

It's good that people see that right now it does not work and voice their opinion.
Smaller heals and buffs overall worse than a Selene's? What's the point for an Astro over a SCH/WHM combo as of today?

Sure, some players can already play it super well but they can probably get event more results out of the 2 other jobs.

This does not mean that the job is doomed, SE always make adjustment.
So now that pretty much everybody agrees that AST needs love, we should see some tweaks in the near future to make the job more on par with the others.

I do agree with this. AST itself isn't horribly broken beyond saving. In fact, it has enough potential that a few tweaks here and there will immediately bring it to the level of other healer classes. And we know that SE doesn't neglect adjustments. I can say that there will be a lot of changes in the upcoming time.
