Whether it's a fix for something that wasn't functioning the way it was supposed to or not, it very clearly improves the effectiveness of the skill and hence it is a buff. This change saves casting time (no clipping) for the AST and makes no such difference to the WHM. That's besides the fact that a white mage would usually have to clip their gcd in order to use Asylum anyway, whereas an astrologian can weave it with the reduced malefic cast time.
