Even though it's not my main, I do enjoy dabbling in ast once and a while. When I do, I actually prefer being in noct. Mostly because I'm so used to being the proactive scholar.

Eh, I do this when I know I'm going to be healing heavily or experienced heavy mp issues in a particular trial (just.... never in dungeons...), new people learning/mistakes or realizing I'm in a derp party. :/
I'd spread Ewer, RR another card, Draw a third, place it on whomever based on the who/what/card and save the ewer for that emergency (then rinse and repeat until the ewer is needed). I usually tend to need it badly by add phase in SephEX or add phase in Niddhog (usually from new people deaths, just prior).

It's really strange - I prefer Noct in trials/raids, but I'm only really experienced with WHM, so I would assume I'd prefer to be a mini WHM in Diurnal.... I have SCH to 60, but only after a lot of off and on leveling, so I'm not particularly experienced or proficient.... and not really a play style I feel confident in, even if the shielding concept is similar.
And yet I prefer Noct stance in pro-actively pre-shielding and pre-casting.

If they did nobody would ever have a reason to go nocturnal sect outside of fights with prey mechanics.
