Thank you For Astro buff

[DiscordiaEris]

The buffs we received were great! They were not what I was expecting, but they are very welcome. Now we can truly call ourselves healers.

The salt around Astro is crazy. I'm personally super excited about all the buffs and changes. I just started playing with the Heavansward release, and I was super excited to get to Astro. I mean, a job that's mostly about space seems really freaking cool to me. I didn't realize it wasn't a very good healer & struggled in higher levels until someone told me just before the buff patch, and personally I'm really excited about it. I mean, it's a job centered around outer space! I think that's super awesome. Space is beautiful. <3 And I have noticed a lot of players have hopped onto the job, but my queue times on my scholar are still way lower than on my smn. It's 'cause people are excited. Hype ebbs and flows. I really don't understand how angry some people are getting.

Going back on track, I love the AST improvements. This will highly make building my eso gear for AST my next endeavor, (except it'll be insta glamoured because I feel the AST eso gear is not nice on my main male hyur AST.)

That's too bad! I love the gear! But I do play a female hyur midlander who looks just like lightning.... So I look good in everything!

I also want to say THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!!! ^^

Finally cought up to my healerFRIENDS!!!!!! (yes....friends.....^^)

funny that here (in the english forum), are so many WHMs/SCHs complaining about the AST now instead of finaly welcome them in the circle of healers!

I've never seen any Astro claiming for other healers to be nerfed! They just wanted to be equal to SCH/WHM, so they can play with'em and help them instead of always feeling like we were pulled trough.

Now we can support our Group/Friends the way we're meant to do without pushing anyone away or even replace them.....!
xD these opinions are just nonsense, mean and absurd!

So one again:

THANK YOU SE!!!!! You did it well!!!!

[SerosJourney]

What's his problem??? Kinda neurotic?

Well....if he's got no interest in playing with AST....fine with me xD
I'm pretty sure the others are THAT happy if they don't have to play with him either....

While I'm super happy about these buffs, I do indeed hope they they're just placeholder buffs. I want AST be its own unique class. I don't want a class that just has a WHM stance and a SCH stance.

THIS.
I want AT LEAST a trait that helps you draw Ewer when needed.

This is rather difficult. Healing in a mmo don't have so many options. You either heal directly or use shields and mitigations. You can do this with spells (with cast time), abilities (instant) and bubbles. The relative effects can be either direct healing, hots or a combination of the two. SCH and WHM have all of the above. Every healer after these 2 will share some similarities, no doubt. Actually, I think AST fells quite different when compared to whm and ast. Synastry, CU and cards really change the way you heal and mitigate in harder content. If we want unique healers in the future, expect some major rework of the already existing jobs. Also keep in mind that if healers are "too unique", end game content must be designed to consider the worst combination of healer in a particular area or they won't be able to clear a specific fight, just making a job better than the other and this is something that devs don't want to happen.

snip.

Delayed Heals, Indirect heals (fountains,wards) channeled heals,chain heals , in mitigation aspect i can mention jobs that specialise in delaying dmg (somewhat how living dead works).
You did not play many games at all.

We had a lot of theorycrafting here before the "omg ast op" foolishness started. You may want to read a few topics, as everything you have just suggested was already suggested by myself and many others.
