Thank you For Astro buff

[Lastelli]

While I'm super happy about these buffs, I do indeed hope they they're just placeholder buffs. I want AST be its own unique class. I don't want a class that just has a WHM stance and a SCH stance.

This is rather difficult. Healing in a mmo don't have so many options. You either heal directly or use shields and mitigations. You can do this with spells (with cast time), abilities (instant) and bubbles. The relative effects can be either direct healing, hots or a combination of the two. SCH and WHM have all of the above. Every healer after these 2 will share some similarities, no doubt. Actually, I think AST fells quite different when compared to whm and ast. Synastry, CU and cards really change the way you heal and mitigate in harder content. If we want unique healers in the future, expect some major rework of the already existing jobs. Also keep in mind that if healers are "too unique", end game content must be designed to consider the worst combination of healer in a particular area or they won't be able to clear a specific fight, just making a job better than the other and this is something that devs don't want to happen.
