AST's weakness in end game

[Risvertasashi]

I always find it funny how people jump on bandwagons. At first the general theme on the boards was "AST is broken", now it is "AST is fine". Well, I don't really like that. What I will say is this:

Yes, AST can complete all content. This is obviously the case as so many attest to it (therefore I don't need AST at level 60 myself to say that as well). However, the job needs some tweaks to nocturnal stance. Since shortly after leveling AST i have never seen a need to switch into nocturnal stance. I play everything, and play it well, in Diurnal. To me this smacks of a design flaw. There's really no need for me to even bother with nocturnal? Seriously? Then why is it even there?

If I look at it that way then a large part of the Astrologian's design is unnecessary, therefore it needs to be retooled. Either retool it, or give the job something useful in its place.

I do agree that Noct could use some work. However, consider that AST can soloheal Thordan EX. The "AST is fine" bandwagon is pretty justified IMO: Overall, it is fine.
