Do you even SCH? lol You have no public parses, so yea.

Scholar's shields cost more because in addition to Lucid Dreaming they have Aetherflow on 60s. Noct AST does not have this. Why people keep complaining about the MP costs while neglecting the superior MP regeneration and MP-saving abilities Scholar has is beyond me.

And AST has ewer, and lightspeed where SCH has their now nerfed aetherflow. Both have lucid dreaming. Sure, ewer is RNG, and a little opportunity cost compared to aetherflow, but it's there alongside lightspeed cutting mp costs by 25% for the duration.

Under the assumption that SCH's MP costs on adloquium, and succor breaks even with SCH's access to aetherflow and somehow levels the playing field in MP cost vs AST, what justifies nocturnal aspected benefic/helios shields being stronger, a stronger upfront heal for aspected helios, and in aspected benefic's case, an instant cast?

You lose half your tool kit and are LOCKED out.

Half your kit?

Really?

Somtimes when I used Fey Union and the tank moves away, the debuff stays on your party list, but your fairy doesn't actually do anything. I've also noticed that when I time my Excog as a sort of lustrate for a tankbuster, it's like the tank does not get healed by it at all while Excog did go off.

There's 3 seconds max before Eos begins casting what you commanded her -- the length of her GCD.

This is true in theory, but in practice she will still do whatever she damn well pleases. I have had many times that I hit Rouse and started mashing Whispering Dawn, and Eos proceeded to ignore me for the entire duration of Rouse. Pet AI as it exists now is just... bad.

So what does miasma 2 do now? I can't get on right now to look and I don't know if it's changed, the patch notes aren't specific.

It costs AST a GCD and MP to cast the shield. Scholar doesn't even need the shield. Lustrate + Embrace is sufficient.

Then you were out of range. The AI doesn't act any differently for you than it does for everyone else.

I can't question your credibility because you have none.

100 potency up front and a 100 potency DoT over 12 seconds. Still instant cast.

The spell is freakin nuts. It's pretty much the new Ruin II for Energy Drain weaving.
