I highly doubt this was the case, only WHM had enmity-related issues at all back then, so the reduction of enmity would only be beneficial to WHM. AST's stances halved the enmity generated by their actions and I believe their version of Lucid Dreaming (Luminiferous Aether) also halved enmity, so AST was never in any danger of pulling off the tank at any point. SCH had enmity shared between the player and the fairy, which means they would never pull off the tank unless they did something stupid like pre-pull Rouse-buffed Whispering Dawn, which would mean Eos was tanking now.
