Did not realize interpreting words was meant to be taken in an introspective view point. Nocturnal stance would most likely gain a better ground to compete with scholar when it provides the dps the scholar brings along with its shielding. I am all for nocturnal being a slightly weaker version of cleric stance with mana reduction costs to dps spells and no potency penalty to heals along with a bump in damage. Being able to provide damage and healing without stance dancing might help us as well in the nocturnal side of things. But as I said in order to get any more toys we will have to lose our ability to be stronger healers then white mages.
