Astrologian Hate!?

Would agree whole heartily. I actually love the class and enjoyed it from 30 to 60, I still love the class. However it becomes painfully obvious when you hit AS1 just how much more stress you put on the other healer in the group. I am curious though on the changes they have in mind for the class, and what we will see in the upcoming patches. Sounds like our voices have been heard but the process of changing the job will take time.

When the healers of the most skilled teams in the world basically say that the job is in a very bad position you can no longer ignore the issue I guess. Unfortunately, people won't realize how weak ast is until they level the other healers up to lvl 60 and that is something many people don't have the time to do, so they rather blindly defend their job. At least a quick check of the lodestone profile is enough to determine whether or not these players are to be taken seriously.

It's irritating to be told "no" just because of my class. I did main sch from ARR launch till heavensward. It's a great class overall. Whm I never have and never will play. I unlocked it once and hate the playstyle, so yea. /meh.

Excuse me? AST plays a LOT like WHM. It has its own version of cure, cure ii, medica, medica ii, tetragrammaton, asylum, shroud of saints. How can you love ast and dislike whm so much? I'm sorry, but you're just trying to back your point up with nonsensical claims.
Anyway, people excluding you just because you're an AST are just ignorant...unless you're going for alex savage. AST can easily clear all content up to ravana ex. Alexander savage is a different topic. It can be done, but whm/sch is much safer and more effective.

I have only ever gotten whm to 34 on one toon, and I simply despise it. It's all straight heals and absolutely no utility for the party. Aside from eye for an eye they really don't get much damage mitigation. Stoneskin, but everyone gets that. The whm in my static does 14k crits heals like candy. but thats about all he has. It feels off to me. I don't enjoy it, I don't play it. When did leveling "all three healers" become a requisite?

It is a requisite if you want to constructively discuss about such things on a forum. If you don't want to level whm or sch it's fine, but please don't come here claiming absurd things when you're completely ignorant on the subject.
