Astrologian Speculations! How will it fit in?

[Ghishlain]

Myself and a couple of FC mates theorize that only the animation for each individual class/job will be unique, but the effect will be the same. So, I imagine AST LB3 would look like they're stopping time and suddenly, everyone is revived, mended to full, etc in some epic looking fashion.

Time will tell. (har har, that bad joke)

I just had to crack such a horrible joke today.

Your joke.

[Ghishlain]

Your joke.

lol, funny enough, I didn't even notice that "joke" until I re-read it on my editing and was like "wow, that's horrible" *Plugs in random comment about terrible joke*.

Back on topic, I'm hoping that if AST is released as a pure healer capacity (despite having difficulties leveling), it would reduce the amount of complaints there are about healers needing to DPS to be accepted >.>; Don't want to DPS, pick AST!

As one firmly in the camp of "only lazy/bad healers completely eschew DPS" I truly hope so.

Something tells me those people allergic to work will find something else to complain about, though. Today it's "But I shouldn't have to DPS, and you can't make me!" Tomorrow it will be "Don't make me use my barrier stance or advanced card buffs, I'm a HEALER."

That and/or AST who macro everything with a Yu-Gi-Oh announcement macro. I had a tank in satash HM who did this one, to EVERY SINGLE MOVE. I couldnt really heal very well due to my eyes bleeding so much..............

Unfortunately, that will always be here to deal with regardless of class/job (such as the now infamous "Foe Requiem reduces my DPS by 50%") or when you notice DRGs not using Heavy Thrust / NINs not using Huton / Tanks not using CDs, etc. There will people who are just "lazy" and do the bear minimal without regard. I just find it's more noticeable on Healers since Healers who ONLY DPS are absolutely terrible and there are more "things that can go wrong" if a healer messes up.

Reminds me of a picture I saw about how a BLM and WHM were explaining exactly what they were doing with their skills in macros so they could explain to the people how to do a proper rotation / what their abilities do in a "weird attempt to teach people how to play", I guess.
