All healers are complex enough for me, as healing as a job generally requires a fair bit of concentration.

I guess cool flashy and entertaining moves and animations are a plus, I suppose AST gets points for being new and having gravity haha. Shame it's 52 and not 50, I hear that causes it to be unusable quite often (roulettes I guess).

I use a ps4 controller, if that makes any difference. I think scholar is doable using controls, even with the pet commands.
I'm going to step on a landmine myself here. But here we go: The act of healing itself is simple. In most content you can simply get away by waiting for things to happen and fill up the HP bars afterwards. Something happened? Press 1 to cure. That melee got cleaved? Press 1 to cure. Tank took a big hit? Press 2 to cure II. I think you get it by now. Making use of your entire kit and and pushing your own limits without burdening the party is a whole different cookie, but I'll omit this for now.

As for "simple/repetitive" jobs, White mage may actually be the closest thing that would describe this. They're pretty much the bare bones healer among the choices you have as they're pretty much either healing or dealing damage with the latter being optional. But considering this wasn't within the choices you had in mind, it shouldn't matter. Rather, you've been quite... enthusiastic, if I were to describe it, about Astrologian. Perhaps you've already made your choice
