not sure these are good changes, i mean if u look at favors its exactly the same, there is no bonus. sure its faster but, the rate u get back from the amout u spend is the same, so the costs in mb will be the same, it just takes less time to gather, so i am sad about that. mnk changes are welcome, but now with these changes AST is going to roll over whm and SCH, its now too powerfull so the only accepted healer compositions would be WHM+AST or AST+SCH, and this is exactly what i was afraid of, when people were asking to buff the AST. too bad, no usefull changes except for mnk, at least if u look at the long term, this is not good.
