Astrologian "BUFFS"

[Remilia_Nightfall]

I'm not sure why you think having the classes equal in potency suddenly translates to having AST be better then the other two.

Not "better" per se, but versatility is still a tool that only AST has. It might not help once you are in the field, but it is still a peculiarity that must be taken into account. Of course we could argue that since we can level both WHM and SCH on the same character, this kind of versatility is useless for any serious player - but that is a different can of worms. Point is, AST needs to pay for this versatility somehow.

Mind you, I am a SCH healing alex savage with an AST. I am fully aware of its issues. I am just saying that simply boosting potency, while a possible solution to make AST more viable, would not be very smart in the long run. We need something unique that does not kill AST identity. i.e., something with cards.
