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.

Delayed Heals, Indirect heals (fountains,wards) channeled heals,chain heals , in mitigation aspect i can mention jobs that specialise in delaying dmg (somewhat how living dead works).
You did not play many games at all.

We had a lot of theorycrafting here before the "omg ast op" foolishness started. You may want to read a few topics, as everything you have just suggested was already suggested by myself and many others.

Actually there were quite a bit of suggestions but they are now pushed to other pages cause of "other" threads.

And why didint they take those creative and unique sugestions instead of making another generic healer or rework it. One thing also that is indirectly adding fuel to the war is the small party sizes, why can WoW have 25 man raids, R.A.I.D.S. not 24 man WoD stuff where you can auto-pilot through everything. A real 24 man raid with savage difficulty, it will encourage more people working together helping fcs on different servers to grow and become more cult-like ( Ensidia, Nihilium in WoW)

Honestly i keep hoping that these buffs were just temporally to keep them out of shite state they were and some more major stuff in 3.1 is inc.
