Astrologian misconceptions

[Hysterior]

Can someone tell me what exactly makes people hate on Astro?

WHM does the WHM job better
SCH does the SCH job better
AST stances are not as good as the jobs it tries to copy

and then for progression, a RNG job is not the best.
Yeah AST is pretty sweet when you get Fire buff a lot but you can also end up with useless cards and your healing is not as strong as the other one and you mana starve when you DPS.

Having said that, it's perfectly adequate for most content. It's just what AST can do, the others 2 healers do it better.
WHM/SCH still the dream combo.
