To Swing a Pendulum - An Astrologian Retooled

[Eisenhower]

The concept was fun to read about (and feels somewhat sound lore-wise), but it also leaves me confused.

Whilst I don't fully agree with SE's decision to make AST half WHM half SCH (just as I don't fully agree with their raid design philosophy), it makes the class able to substitute for both roles to a certain extent. From what I can see the changes suggested would make WHM/AST fail as soon as a heavy raid-wide blast hits (such as an unfortunate Thordan EX Ultimate End or the later Perpetual Revolutions from A4S) since the CU-bubble would be insufficient to mitigate such a heavy hit and drawing a Bole in Nocturnal isn't reliable (just as fishing for one and saving it would neuter the ASTs ability to buff up until the point the Bole is used) as compared to CU + Nocturnal shields.
