AST, on the other hand, must conserve mana in case any emergency situations arise, and due to the weaker mana regen, the sustained healing just isn't anywhere near as potent.
I never said the contrary. I said that a lot of players actually don't play very well their sch or whm, so you can't expect them to handle a more difficult class as Astromancien. It's not that usual to see a sch or whm who uses Cleric stance in dungeon.
But some players manage to do well in dungeon with the min ilvl required as Astrologian. You have to take on board their results, not the ones of players in difficulties, cause they don't understand the potential of this job.

Astro has less healing power than his homologues. However... it's not a problem for everyone.
Just sayin' we have to be carefull regarding the forum's complaints.
