So yes, i trust you it is very good in raids cause "MROWL NUKE DMG BUFFER" but please peoples... raid is very very little part of Final Fantasy.
Back to the dungeoning theme: there is players who just started ast and dont have lvl 80 instantly with the endgame gear. Yes, other in the group dont have too. And you must be able to heal out the tank AND the others what is in many situation is nearly impossible. And if the players for example not that professionals as me, made mistakes or just new for that dungeon. And its cause ast was nerfed to ground comletly.
Even the developer accept or not, this is the fact.
So, I have not reach this part of you saying the job is basically unplayable and have not heard this from anyone else..... Also, raiding is a part of an MMO....regardless if this is FF or not.

This is me, as a newer player and not playing the old Astro....The way the healing jobs are designed now seems to focus mainly on healing and throwing out a few dps abilities here and there. I do not follow your logic when it comes to being new to a dungeon and not being able to run through it quickly? If a healer is new and doesnt know what mobs do what, or what boss does what...and there is a wipe....that is part of the learning curve. Are you saying you want the content to be really easy? Or the job to be really easy?

I am only asking because, as I have reached stormblood the difficulty of the game increased significantly. The first dungeon alone in Stormblood gave me a run for my money, as both Astrologian and Scholar. Which after running it a few times with both, I understood the mobs, their abilities, when to use my abilities, how hard they hit, and the boss mechanics to better prepare. After that, it was far easier to keep the group up and going.

Does it need some tweaking, yeah every class probably needs tweaking, but its not unplayable. I am very confused by this statement.
