Also, +1 off spec value on Avian is a super awkward bonus now that they have elite credits.. I really dont see any time (realistically) that an avian would choose to train an ospec over a leet.

I would propose to change +1 offensive specialist strength to be +1 defensive specialist strength. I think this would help avian keep pace with their role that (should be) to hit fast and have some minor turtle ability. Since you guys said your direction is for attackers to make more choices about leaving defense home. I think Avian would benefit greatly from that change.
