For the fun of it, I tested a theory out. My Ilvl 136 lvl 58 BRD and my Ilvl 118 lvl 50 BLM. With astral 3 my BLM's fire 1 does double my BRD's Heavy shot with WM active. When firestarter pops, fire 3 does triple my heavy shot. You know something is seriously wrong when I can achieve more with a lower lvl lower geared BLM than my higher geared higher lvl BRD. They shouldn't have nerfed the abilities. After all sidewinder is a lvl 60 ability so it can only be used when not lvl synced.
