I agree that the damage potencies are good, in terms of balance, AST needed more rDPS their way.

As for the MP I'll see how I feel when I try it, I believe it needed to be adjusted, so positive they did. But I'm also of the mind MP regeneration needn't be so good that in practice it feels like an unlimited resource and that management is a part of the way the job plays. At the same time not to feel like it's impeding on your ability to play the job. So it doesn't look like they've done that.

My worry was that Noct buffs would make playing Noct sect too easy. It doesn't seem it might be the case. Noct AST is the only healer set up I like at the moment.
