A different approach to "fixing" Astrologian.

[Roxas_Andrade]

Either shorten the CD on Luminiferious Aether, or make it a flat %-based MP restoration like Aetherflow/Assize.[/B] All potency-based MP refreshes scale like CRAP with gear, and Astrologian will be no exception. The potency refresh scales off of your BASE MP, which doesn't seem like a big deal now, but will be a HUGE deal as our ilevels increase and we gain an extra 5k MP (or whatever arbitrary value) off of gear.
What this would do: The CD is still 120 seconds, so a 20% flat MP restoration doesn't seem too broken, and reduces AST's reliability on MCHs or BRDs. SCH has a 20% MP restoration on a 60-second cooldown, and WHM has a 10% MP restoration on a 90-second cooldown (plus the refresh they get every 120 seconds from Shroud of Saints, too...). I hardly think it would be "broken" to let AST have a 20% MP restoration every 2 minutes, even IF their heals are more MP-friendly than SCH or WHM. MP restores that operate off our noob base piety are bad, mmmmkay?

I guess this would be a good solution, but it's hard to be calculated. Since it is a skill that also reduces enmity (Quelling Strikes-style), it's hard to calculate the MP regen potency over 15sec of effect. It would have to change the potency of the skill everytime you change gear. Impossible.
A good solution would make the spell instant, recovers a MP percentage and halves enmity like Elusive Jump. A 90sec cooldown would be optimal.90sec cooldown would be optimal.

I forgot about the enmity reduction, to be frank. >__> Yes, giving it a dump rather than a Quelling-like application would suffice.
