Hmm, so it's basically something that was either overlooked or not deemed important enough to fix. That's interesting. I wouldn't go as far as to call this Imbalanced or anything, but requiring a Nin or the tank to do more aggro combos than normal to make up for a WHM being in the party is not very good.

If this was indeed intentional design and AST is just the exception then that's fine, it just doesn't look that way right now.
