I love astro and I really want it to work really I do... I have done a lot of content on it ranging from dungeons exprimals and alexander normal. I have solo healed A1-A3 I have solo healed ravana and bismark ex and the second I step into savage you can tell its just not going to work that great. I was replacing a whm here and there for my friends static and here are some facts.



-Their whm was able to solo heal faust up to 6 stacks we had to drop off at 4 with me there.
-Their WHM offered better group healing on the split party using Asylum while I could only offer a second supporting heal on a single target using synestry which each healer was already taking a tank so that wasnt nearly as helpful
-During jumps I could offer healer bubble or helios the whm could just cure 3 for more
-Tank busters I could Essential Dignity then try to heal through it with other stuff while the whm could tetra for about the same amount
-Prey... I had nothing for this I could only use my aspected benefic and the SCH had to cover using adlo and lustrates whm would divine seal and regen and a medica 2 cast would keep them up until the next top up before jump

I had cards but no card is going to replace the sch losing 2/3's of their dps to help heal more nor will my cards suddenly increase my healing efficiency or output during heal heavy stages (gunpod -> prey -> tank buster) where the sch would already be taxed trying to keep up healing with a more efficient healer.

I love this job and I want to play as it but its just not as good at this time as its alternatives, can it be used... yes, with great difficulty less efficiency and overall more stress on the whole group to cover for having it so why bring it.
