Of course I know you should use Aero as every healing class, and even told Aero is important to AST, after all it's the only instant cast skill they have that can do an initial hit on something to help with some mechanics...

If WHM has a wider tool set than AST, it's obvious they have more things to do. Even if they're locked behind a big CD, their skills are used sometime. If you can't spam assize it doesn't make the skill unusable and if you think there is no content up up to the skill, this doens't mean it's not there. And even if you use it every other pull, it's still something you can count on. AST can't count on skills like that anytime.

It's not that I want to make AST a copy of WHM, every class has its perks and i'm ok with all of them. We shouldn't discuss which class is funnier either, because that's personal. MY OPINION is that you have more options as WHM and SHC than you have as AST, it doesn't make the AST job bad - but if we had those options in battle, AST wouldn't be worse either.

As for what I do or don't know: show me a FACT I said that is wrong.
Your initial post was a reply to my comment on another post, so look at what the person posted to know what I meant.

And good luck counting on Assize for DPS; it has a pretty effect, specially when it misses more than half of the targets in level 60 content and you want to cry.

It's not a fact that WHM and SCH have more options than AST; they have different options, that's the fact. It's also a fact that AST can't have those options because if it did, the job balance would be broken. Would you take a WHM to any actual content if AST could match it in AoE burst (both healing and damage), while still retaining the ability to buff party members with cards and keeping its mobility? If your answer is yes, then you'd have a hard time finding a group, since AST/SCH would be considered mandatory in that case.
