balance through Balance

[Enla]

Nerfing Astrologian isn't going to change the fact that WHM has no identity beyond "big heals" (which generally aren't needed) or that SCH has MP issues, a clunky nerfed pet (on THE pet Healer), and no AoE. What you're doing is ignoring the real issues that make both other jobs unsatisfying or undesirable.

You don't need to completely nerf AST in order to bring balance to the classes. Only a few small quality of life fixes are needed and potency increases to the others in order to prevent power creep. For example adding a cast or halving the potency of their shields would be all that's needed to put them in line with SCH. That's it.
