AST, SCH, and 3.4: What stance do I use now?

I know it's hard for learning 2 types of healer but that's the fate for being AST. You need to become main healer if there's SCH in your party and should use Diurnal not Nocturnal.

Please use diurnal when paired with a sch. Idk why people think it's all right to disregard hots, also noct shields overwrite galvanize. This is nothing new, regardless of potency changes to shields. Also this main healer/ off healer mindset is a bad one. Both healers should contribute to healing and dps, working with each other ensures higher raid dps when the both of you contribute.

2 days ago, I was in a farm pf for Sophia EX with a Noct Ast.
I didn't say a thing at the beginning of the fight cause I thought she knew she had to switch (I don't want to be rude at learning to someone what he has to do).

But she stayed on nocturnal and even overwrited a critical deployed adlo...
I cried.

She was destroying my gameplay.

So yes, please, every AST, if you see a scholar, switch to diurnal.
Shield don't stack like with regen.

As a Scholar, if the Astro I'm healing with uses Noct I will ask them to switch stance, if they refuse I will take the 30 minute pentalty, I consider it very rude and it also makes the Astro look inexperienced/incosiderate.

On the other hand if it's a healer I know to be reliable and I am playing as a dps+Eos then it's fine, but this should be pre-arranged.

If they won't switch, i just won't heal outside of embrace/lustrate/indom. If we wipe, I'll call them out on it. It really bugs me.

Except in DF SCHs frequently stay out of Cleric even in portions of fights that require 0 healing from either healer. No sense in 2 main healers.

...But regardless AST in Diurnal when theres a sch, noct is inefficient and frustrating with one
