Okay let's compare a skill that increases your damage output by 50% for 10 seconds every 20 minutes.

And let's compare another that increases your damage output only by 5% but can be used constantly.

By your argument, the skill that provides that short 'boost' in damage should be penalized more because it is "battle winning" as per your claim. In truth though the skill that can be used constantly is far more powerful overall.

Also I don't know where you got your information about antei of formation but:

antei of formation [ ] [ 100 ] [ 1813 ] [ Stand - Fight ]

Also, while we're at it the other inherent imbalances are:

1. Most casters with 'powerful' skills have no way of keeping their targets in combat, unlike fighters with powerful skills.

2. Casters being dependent on spells for the bulk of their damage output are more affected by pool loss, unlike fighters.
