All These Astro suggestions!

Understandable. Chances are that whenever we get a new healer, it'll be something entirely different since they now have the middleground healer. At that point, AST will probably continue to be the middle ground, but with one or two skills that are similar to whatever the new healer's niche is, while the other skills are a mix of those in line with WHM and SCH with a skill or so of their own that still lets them be different....

Just my estimates on the matter. Anyhow, I wouldn't worry about it right now since it'll likely be quite some time before we see the next expansion and new skills added. Right now it seems most of the people complaining are the ones who don't want a middle ground healer, but want one that has it's own role entirely, which is understandable, but not what I think they were going with with the class.....

Yes, AST is just a copycat
It could be unique but SE decided to create a hybrid. (a terrible choice).
I still believe SE will do something about it...
I can dream....right?

I wouldn't consider it a terrible choice, just not the choice you would prefer. Clearly given how many people I see in game who main it, there are a lot of people who like it as is. If you're judging it to be a terrible choice based on the forums complaining threads alone, then you should really keep in mind that it's a very small group of players over all that use the forums compared to those who play the game, and that their views don't necessarily reflect the community as a whole....
