My personal experience on the effect the changes have had was I personally started playing when Heavensward was new and fell in love with the Astro class. These changes have completely turned me off to the class and I play white mage now, healing is my favorite role even if they've felt somewhat neglected as of late. It probably doesn't matter to a large percentage of the player base but I happened to really like the lore and story of Astro, part of what I fell in love with, and these changes sort of walk all over it. It's not just the cards for me either but the whole effect, I have not level'd up Astro to 80 yet but having gone through as WHM they just feel in a better place for me. I wish I could be more constructive in this regard but I don't know what exactly could be done to "fix" this problem, I was much more of an rp gal as apposed to the savage raiding business but it's looking like this is the class for some time.

If you enjoy or like or approve of the new system I don't want to take that away from you, enjoy what you enjoy but realize for some of us we not only didn't get a new heal class but lost an old one.
