Paladin need to be review.

Again, people attempting to assess any job based on content designed for 10+ average item levels from where most people are now cannot and should not be taken with great weight. Look at my Lodestone profile if you want, my point stands all the same. People are freezing out Astrologians and other jobs based on this nonsense and it needs to stop.

... My group has cleared A1 and 2 and almost A3 with an astrologian... Perhaps you should look more to yourself and try less to blame the class. Eva Eva if you want to look her up. She has no other healers leveled.
And how DARE we use content to judge how classes preform in content! We should use anecdotal evidence from people who have never once ventured into the kind of content that requires min/maxing!

As someone who has levelled up all 3 healers and play them all regularly, I'll just sum up the issues AST has in two sentences.

It's not AST vs content.
It's AST vs WHM/SCH.

A1 savage handicaps Ast, I agree. We would have done better with SCH/WHM, but I think a large part of THAT problem was my group itself. We won the fight with (At the time) the highest parse in A1 on the server from week 1. Our ast did Zero DPS, but the WHM did 400ish. The WHM was under the impression because the AST did zero DPS, he had to compensate, which is nonsense. Our group DPS was so high (Thanks largely in part to the AST) that the WHM could just focus on healing, and when he did; we won with ease! There is something to be said of the player base not understanding the role AST has in endgame yet, because until we all got into the mentality that AST is the 'DPS healer' even though they parse zero; we had a hard time with one. Just my 2 cents as a tank who has done/continues to do savage with an AST. She's primarily healing me. In Deliverance, because real warriors don't tank in defiance!

It's a bit of a shame you only came back to repeat yourself instead of addressing my points about PLD's weaknesses, which you smugly referred to as "total rubbish". Frankly I don't think you should be having such strong opinions on endgame raiding when its clear from your lodestone you don't even participate in it.
