Goodbye Astro

Anyways, I'm done. AST is strong. The healers are more balanced than they've ever been. People will realize it sooner or later.

So it being strong and balanced is justification for it not being well designed? You know what other job was strong and balanced in SB? MCH
It could actively compete with BRD, it may not have had all the utility BRD had, but it did have refresh, tactician, feint, palliside, which it shared with BRD, but it also had it's own dismantle and a vulnerability up, which were both really good, but not as much as all the utility BRD had, but it made up for that because it could pull great damage, making it perfectly viable and meta to have a MCH over a BRD, but, despite all that, it was the least popular class in the expansion. Why? Because it felt like trash to play. Even if something has good numbers, that does not make up for a playstyle that isn't fun to play, fullstop.

AST is in the same scenario. Yes, it's balanced, and yeah, its viable to have one, but it feels terrible to play. The only people who would bother with that sort of thing are hardcore raiders that want to push out the MAXIMUM dps they possibly can. Everyone else though? Why bother, that's way too much of a headache.
