I am new to Astrologian, which stance is best for solo healing?

[DarkmoonVael]

I need to fix/clarify that for Aspected Benefic specifically, ty.

NP . Hoepfully new AST will maybe give it a read, as quite a lot of them dont seem to understand what sect function/doesnt function with which co-healer. (At least the oens i come across in df dont......the amount of times i have been on sch and the ast uses nocturnal makes me scream).

Lightspeed + gravity
Less mana burn but less DPS output... Depends of the group.

Noct AST + SCH is viable... Only if the AST is only pure raw heal like a whm without HoT
Taking advantage of the 5% bonus

But you need to know your job to do that X3

Problem with N.AST + SCH is that you are losing out on the MP efficiency through D.AST HoTs. Its not somehting i would ever recommend doing. The 5% bonus is something that kind of looks nice on paper, but then has very little impact in game. Its only very rare circumstances where that extra 5% on the shield actually saves someone.

Clearly yes
The diurnal is always good in mana efficience so yeah it is wisely recommanded to go diurnal/SCH
But i was just saying that on a not so hard and masteted fight it can be done.

But yeah completely crazy in case of raid progression

I think double AST could be a strong duo but seems like there is not so much static willing to go there.
(But you need a perfect sync for the card to avoid overwriting.)

Kinda like that awesome Midas run WE did Darkmoon. (One of the few one where I did not struggle healing...)

I think the devs scared themselves a little with AST when designing which is why we not only got it introduced to the game in a terrible state, but is also why the functionality of AST/AST has been made to work as hard as possible. Cards overwriting each other, HoTs not stacking etc etc etc.

Yeah that run of A8 was fun and went well, but its more to do with two people healing who knew what they were doing. I have done A8 before in DF, had a WHM partner, gone into Nocturnal to find the WHM doesnt use regen, medica II, medica, assylum or assize for the entire fight.......boy that went well.
