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...
