DO NOT NERF...

Aspected Benefic + Nocturnal Sect. I'm in love.

Me too, I got to play a high level roulette once I reached 50 yesterday, and I have to say the feel of stance dancing is really rewarding on AST, since so much can be done oGCD. Plus, instant cast shield is its own reward.

Having transitioned from a Scholar to Astrologian, I felt right at home after getting Nocturnal Sect. Although lacking in potency in comparison, I basically have in my disposal an Insta Cast + Adlo every global cool down and a Lustrate every 40 seconds. I will rage if SE takes this away from me.

I severely doubt they will take it away, it sounds like you're playing a high skillfloor job (AST) the way it is meant to be played.

AST looks like a very rewarding class if played in unexpected ways (at present since it is so new).

High skill floor.

High.

Floor.

?

Ceiling? Skill Ceiling?

I prefer dinural on bosses and nocturnal on trash.

The absorbs just haven't seemed to cut it for me iin the two dungeons iive done, aoe damage out the arse but without the fairy, lower potency just makes me twitch. Low hp bars freaks me out unless they belong to a jerkbag.

This is exactly what I've been doing too. Shields for trash, regen for boss.

It's not strong enough to warrant a nerfing.

Without aspected benefic being instant, AST would not be able to be main healer so i don't think SE will nerf this ability.

High Skill ceiling = Hard to perfect the class.

High Skill floor = Hard to actually be any good at the class at all.

It still uses up the same GCD that Adloq does, you're just getting the (weaker) cast at the start of the cooldown instead of the end. You also get 3 Lustrates every 60 seconds, which is better. You also get the fairy heals/buffs. AST is too weak right now to even consider getting nerfs.

Solo healing it feels a bit redundant, because we've got our version of cure II. And the single target regen, while I feel undertuned, adds a tool we don't have while the shield adds a tool we have a alternative too. Not to say it doesn't have it's place sometimes, but diurnal seems the goto stance.

8 mans are of course different. Group with a whm and obviously you use shields.
