If it were just a white mage strength that would be one thing, however astro can aoe balance/arrow to buff group damage and/or gravity spam and are getting their own version of assize, its really only scholar that cannot aoe effectively now. Set it and forget it dots are fine and all but plugging away at one single enemy thereafter on top of the dots being 20% potent along with only two measly dots getting spread at that potency to a decent sized group of trash is just bad.
