Yes but why change it?

Because that is exactly the problem. Adloquium + fairy are the reason nocturnal AST is rendered useless. Crit Adloquium is too powerful, it blows aspected benefic out of the water. On top of that when in nocturnal sect not only is your main shield worse than sch's, but you don't have regens or a fairy to cover healing while you dps like whm or sch. Nocturnal AST isn't going to be used unless it can be put on par with adloquium and cover healing. And while I think healing is something that needs to be covered on ast's end, the simplest solution for shielding would be to remove the crit effect from Aldo and just buff Aldo's overall performance.
