Many of us have seen what changes like this result in. Astro was a completely dead job at release. Practically no one played it until it slowly crept into the meta through a multitude of buffs. To my continual amazement, White Mage is arguably worse off than 3.0 Astro. This won't matter significantly with casual centric content, however people will lock healer roles for Extreme and Savage. I cannot see a single benefit White Mage offers to a raid comp. For a supposedly pure healer, it's outshined by Astro and has laughable utility by comparison. Dedicated healers, especially White Mage mains, have every reason to be upset. The job is absolute garbage compared to its counterparts.
