How to make Nocturnal Sect more interesting and compelling

[ckc22]

the thing is collective unconscious is on a long cooldown, player based instead of targeted, and has to be channeled.
By all rights it should be a lot stronger than the WHM and SCH counterparts

and the other question would be why does astrologian have to be straight up numerically worse than WHM and SCH at everything? Make astro utility way stronger or bring their healing up to par, having a strictly worse class in an MMO is very bad

It also has a longer effect time and costs you absolutely nothing except a CD to cast - the general use of SS is for a stacked phase change anyway - why do you need to move around during that?

Instead of asking for more stuff to be stolen from whm and sch you should be asking for card buffs and enhanced ability to speed heal in line with the time mage theme.

Instead every post on here and reddit about ast is basically "Why doesn't our version of adlo crit?" Because it's instant cast and costs like 70% as much mp. Maybe it should cost 0 mp, be aoe, and triple crit?

I think the entire idea behind Ast stances was a mistake and I called that this stuff would happen like 20 seconds after SE announced "whm and sch mode".
