How would you change Nocturnal AST to be competitive against SCH?

Really don't understand people who want to change stances in combat. Are we just talking about buffing performance in 4 man dungeons? Because this buff would be downright useless in 8 mans.

If you have a scholar, there's literally no reason to use Noct at all because shields would overlap. If you have a white mage, there's literally no reason to swap to diurnal because their regens are better and being without shielding in savage/extreme content is stupid.

WHM + AST Regens stack. You would probably only stance dance with a WHM. The more effecient AST would stance dance even with SCH to increase the potency of their bene IIs/Helios during critical phases I feel (probably unnecessary and likely a DPS loss without diurnals speed buff or if you clip the gcd putting it back on. )

I wasn't saying I want to change stances in combat; I was saying it shows how useless noct is when you wouldn't even use it much if you could.

Finally someone with senses. Personally, I want to stance dance. But then again, the utilities might overlap. The job is fine, imo, as the way it is. Maybe they could lower LumiAether CD, that would be nice.
