No, not the wrong idea. I'll take a look at the JP healer board and AST topics and try to give you a consensus (if there is one). ^_^


EDIT:

Ok, so there's a really big thread all about AST in the healer forum. It's 193 pages... o.O

In any case, it would appear that their main concern is the Cards. There's a lot of discussion on whether there's any point to them and how a lot of them aren't very useful.

There's also debate on whether the class is too weak or not. Some claim it definitely is, others that it just seems like it is because people don't know how to use the job well. But there's a general consensus that the image of AST is that they are weak and that for difficult content, it's common for parties to want WHM or SCH instead because of the fear that AST might be too weak.

Finally, there's worry/complaint about AST MP problems. WHM and SCH have reliable ways to regain MP, but AST seems to run out of MP often.

All that being said, there is still a lot of positive posts saying they love the class, but would just like to see some improvements. And most agree that the job is viable, just tuned a little low.

I just want to chime in early here and say that I think this is a great idea for a thread, and I hope it helps to bridge the gap that (At least I feel) exists between the JP community and the NA/EU community. I know there are several times when I would like to know what the JP community is thinking on a subject, and now there will be a place to check to see if anyone else is wondering the same thing. I just hope you don't get overwhelmed with requests. :P This could turn in to a full-time job. :P
