Declining Good Healer in High-end content

I'm really not sure why you're unable to understand what I'm posting; I'll try to make it a little more clear for you: I do not care if I'm in Diurnal or Nocturnal. I go into whichever sect is needed. Is that a bit clearer? Should I say it again? I. Do. Not. Care. If. I. Am. In. Diurnal. Or. Nocturnal.

You did ask me the reason and I believe I very clearly stated the reason, which apparently you can't quite seem to grasp? The reason it frustrates me, and I'll try to be as clear as possible for you, is when the AST refuses to go into anything but Diurnal.. That maybe wasn't as clear. Let me try again: If you, as an AST, refuse to ever go into anything except Diurnal, you frustrate me. Not because I specifically only want to be in Diurnal, but because you're not working with your co-healer and you're not strengthening your party at all.

I'm really not sure how I can make it more clear to you that it's not because I only want to be in Diurnal, because (again) I do not. I (again) go in to whichever sect is needed/required/makes the party stronger.

Ultimately, stick to your job unless there's a problem. And if it involves your job (when you are Astrologian)...then again. I will repeat the question. Why does it make you frustrated that other Astrologian "defaults" to Diurnal?"

Really? "Stick to your job"? So, you mean to tell me that you never in the history of existing have ever questioned the choice of another player unless they were the same job as you? Not once. Not ever ever ever? You've never questioned why that person did that, or didn't do that, unless they happened to have the same icon as you in the party list? Puh-lease. Don't give me that. "Stick to your job"? I'm not sure you could be any more condescending. I don't think it's up to you to tell me what I have a reason to care about and what I don't. Maybe the tables could be turned: you don't have a reason to care about what I'm saying, so don't?

And again, I'll repeat it, because apparently you can't quite grasp the concept:

I do not care which sect I am in. It makes me frustrated when an AST refuses to choose anything but Diurnal, especially when doing so would help the party as a whole.

But yes, please do keep telling me that I'm frustrated because I want to only be in Diurnal. I'm 110% done trying to make things clear. We'll have to agree to disagree here.

I share your feelings. As an Astro, you need to be flexible. There is no "oh yeah I'm -insert sect- main aha! Oh you want me to swap? Shove off m8 >.>". It's especially frustrating when an ast goes noct with a sch co heals. I could see where dual regens COULD be useful, but noct with a whm is just the better option. The astros who refuse to use the proper sect for the situation are just bad players imo. You need to learn how to use its full kit, not just a portion of it.

I did shin ex on my rdm yesterday to get some practice before I go in to heal it (I don't wanna be bad). The whm and Astro seemed to have had a hard time. I kept an eye on them both after dying to unavoidable damage over and over. I was driven nuts from my pet peeves. They kept wasting their ES and over healing, weren't shielding, they were really really slow. The whm seemed to not be doing anything but using medica and medica 2. Their HPS was really low (bout half of the ast tho ast was over healing severely), and their DPS was low for how low their healing was, so it just seemed like they weren't doing much. I wasn't a healer, but you bet I noticed their mistakes. I ended up leaving because the healers just couldn't handle it. Think I'll stick to healing after that experience...
