AST is not in the lead “by a mile”.

AST pushes only slightly ahead of WHM in terms of total DPS contribution. Also, WHM intentionally has very few weaving slots, as it has the least amount of oGCDs. Movement is designed to hurt WHM, and movement is currently the only weakness the job faces. That should remain, otherwise WHM would be even more ridiculous than it already is.

I will agree that SCH should have received priority with damage and pet changes, but the MP issues on AST took precedence to make the job a little more appealing.
