I forgot to answer this. Yes, it's true: SCHs can make up for the job's downsides by learning the fight and practicing. This is true for WHMs as well: you learn how to live without the skill to shield efficiently. AST players need to get better at their job and 1 month practice isn't time enough to make up for the 2 years people have been playing WHM and SCH.
