Celestial opposition needs something more

What i would see

Since sch got CritAdlo
Let us have CO Noct

If CO used in nocturnal have all shield double in potency (the remaining shield x2 i mean)
Plus the usual +5sec and stun

Sch still have advantage to have anytime rng based double shield
While noct got one with cooldown

That's something i would like to see !

Hmm, let's compare the primary use of it, CO'd Aspected Helios, with a deployed Adlo..
I'll assume a 15% crit chance (and a x1.55 crit potency modifier, I hope that is correct), and a 1% heal advantage for the AST over SCH (due to passive traits giving MND to AST and INT to SCH).

CO Aspected Helios' shield would be 382 base potency.
This means a range of 382 - 592 potency, with an average of 414.

Deployed Adlo's shield is 300 base potency, but 930 potency if it crits, with an average of 395.
With conva and defiance (if WAR), it's still more powerful, even in base potency.
The advantage of CO Aspected Helios would however be range and ease of use (no need to spread from a certain target in limited range, and can be used a lot quicker, allowing for reactive use).

I like it.. might be the thing N.AST needs to be really competitive.

I do agree with this actually. An extended duration on a shield is pretty pointless...this would be a great fix.

It would be nice to apply some kind of regen on party while you're on Nocturnal just to let them compete better with SCH's Whispering Dawn on heavy damage situations in low gear. But I know that ain't happening. And Celestial Opposition is nice as it is its quite powerful already letting you extend strong buffs like Collective Unconscious regen, Synastry, Lightspeed and even Mind Potions mind you!

I absolutelly love this.

Or maybe when you use CO it will give you a "buff" similar to SCH's DT/ET that for the next cast of Aspected Helios/Benefic your shields will have double potency (shields only, not heals) then the buff wears off.

But if Nocturnal CO is buffed then Diurnal CO would fall off a bit....

I think they need to rework the ability for both sects
Maybe For Nocturnal CO it would double the shields (instantly or for the next cast only)
And for Diurnal it would turn the remaining ticks of Aspected Helios/Benefic HoT into healing.(Similar to BLM's thunder proc but for the remaining duration only)...idk something.

To be really honest though.... i wish AST had more card related stuff, it's the only thing that differentiates them from the other healers but it feels so....meh...

I feel the cards are the only thing that they did right with AST.

Roughly a third of their abilities are dedicated to them, I'm not sure how it could get much better.

I kinda hate how that worked out. When you get synched to 50 you pretty much have no abilities because every job quest gave you some card trick.
