The positive Astrologian thread!

I never had problems with the lower potency. Other people are. I love the job and I believe in its strength when played well. If 20/30 less potency in some spells give you guys such a hard time, by all means, stop playing the job and go to the "easier" ones, since they don't have any restrictive mechanics and no weaknesses. Leave AST for those who can, and want, to do it.

So can you answer my question please?

You should know that there has been ASTs who managed to complete the first floor but noticed the obvious weaknesses and even posted them on these forums. They aknowledged the problems with the job and were asked to switch. So should they stop playing the job because they acknowledged the weaknesses although they could play it "right", even if struggling and/or making their other healer struggle more? I dont' see the relation between a good player and making AST's weaknesses completely obsolete and nonexistant. Mayority of people agree that AST is not in its best state, are you gonna tell me that 99% of these healers that have main healed since 2.0 are just simply bad at playing even if part of these 99% are top raiders, including japanese players?

I'm genuinly interested in knowing how AST is better than SCH, since I don't play SCH and I have my own experience as AST, experiences from other ASTs and actual facts posted on the forums that point towards the opposite of your statements. Please elaborate further *in the other thread*.

Sorry for the derail guys :x I just thought I'd point them to my question since they are still around but missed it.
