The Bottom Feeders: Moves You Never Use and Why (Ver. 2)

Nocturnal Sect, hands down.

Short of the few level 50+ fights where people do not take damage often or there's lots of mobs showing up that you don't to grab aggro from (Pharos Sirius 1st boss), it's often not worth the use simply because you're not healing faster than the damage is coming in, and there's no way to further mitigate damage outside of those small shields like there is for SCH. I rarely if ever use this stance, no point when Diurnal can heal up everything as fast as a WHM can. And it hurts me to say that because I main SCH as my healer, I know how powerful those shields can be, but there's nothing to help back them up.

Nocturnal Sect, hands down.

Wow Noc is my favourite! Every time I join and see a SCH I am like aww, and if it's an AST I rush to pop Noc before they can lol. It's easy to run out of MP fast if you're popping shields non stop, but once you get the hang of it I love how well it works. Big AoE coming and pop that, especially with Synastry up. For me it's Stella I never use, I forgot about it until this thread.

But Noct is so much weaker than what a SCH offers, and the regen on Diurnal Aspected spells is much better (and synergizes better) in the long run. I like the look of Noct more (the buff icons) but its def too weak at the moment.
