Your thoughts on Astrolgian so far?

Yeah the issue is that to me, with how the damage are dealt in the dungeon/trials... it feels like the hots are better than a weak shield. Plus the hots stack with WHM hots... enjoy the 1k tick.

I don't know. Maybe i'm just used to playing with diurnal instead of nocturnal.

I only did dungeons so i maybe I am just wrong about Regen stance in trials.

Imo
Aspect benefic Shield>Aspect benefic Regen
Noct version is basically a lustrate with normal gcd but no cooldown.

But
Helios-Aoe Regen>Helios Shield

I haven't had a chance to test properly, do nocturnal shield and galvanize always overwrite each other, or does only the most potent one take effect? I know sch will only overwrite eachother's galvanize if the new one has more shielding on it than whatever the old one had left, leaving stronger critshields intact.

I think they just always overwrite each other >_<.

Oh about our shield... does it double if we crit like SCH ?

Nope it doesn't multiply but in exchange it is instant cast.

NOCT + SCH is flat out horrible (after learning that shields overwrite each other regardless of potency)

Well only our benefict aspect is instant. maybe that's why I always thought it was a bad stance. Meh. I guess you are right tho.

Btw in french, the trait for benefict 2 says that it should remove its cast time AND its mana cost. But it does only remove the cast... i hope it'll remove the mana cost too or they should increase the %...

Also, I think they should buff our potency back to the same as WHM/SCH for our non aspected spell and change the +5% potency of nocturnal stance and give it +5% crit to make it balance.

More things I find it hard to test on my own- does the %haste from diurnal also affect the hots/dots as per the new haste rules?

compare a regen effect of your WHM and AST with the same stats

Haste=/=Spell Speed, so no.
