Done with AST

[Vlady]

Astro is not inferior to the other jobs. It's this false spread of nis info in a attempt to bring more buffs to a job that doesnt need it that irks me.

[QUOTE=MidnightTundra;3186620]Either you don't have a 60 SCH or you're fine being the "balanced" guy compared to an "overpowered" guy. I'm an i187 AST and I pretty much pour everything into this class. Why? Because it's really, really fun. Fun > all for me at this point. As an AST and a SCH, I don't ignore what my SCH is capable of and what my AST is capable of.

There's only so much you can do with AST compared to SCH. I don't have an instant AoE heal. I don't have oGCD damage nukes. I don't have a pet healing every GCD. I don't have the AoE or single target damage potential as a SCH. I can't mitigate damage anywhere near what a SCH can.

And white mage does not have a pet that can provide a constant stream of heals along with the 3% haste buff every 30 seconds either. What astro brings is the best short cooldown instant cast heal in the game with upwards of 1000 potency if you learn to time it right. A powerful double tank healer cooldown that astro's have used for A1 and A2 savage mode to deal with double tank buster and healing debuff from dolls and we have the ability to up a dragoon's dps on burst phases by 400 dps or more if you coordinate your buff cards with your dps it is literally the best damage buff in the game that exponentially adds 10% dps buff to blood and rage strikes. Between synastry and lightspeed we are very powerful aoe healers being able to hit 3k-3500 hps (unless they nerfed aoe heals to Synasty. Have not tried it yet) so yes Astrologians are as strong of a healer as scholar and white mage.
