Sadly sayiing goodbye to SCH

That would be because AST doesn't need to spread their shields. Noct Aspected Helios is already a larger shield than a non-crit Adlo, and is on the GCD instead of being locked behind Deployment Tactics's 120sec CD.

...yeah except we also have Succor, so you can save DT until you got a crit, if you wanted.

And let's be real: of all the healer skills that are teed up for the nerf bat, Noct shields are #1.

Succor is in no way equivalent to Noct Asp.Helios or Deployed Adlo.

Succor: 150p (AoE)
Crit Succor: 210p (AoE)
Adlo: 300p (Single Target, Deployable on 120sec CD)
Crit Adlo: 840 (Single Target, Deployable on 120sec CD)

Asp.Helios: 258.75p (AoE)
Crit Asp.Helios: 362.25p (AoE)
Asp.Benefic: 575p (Single Target)
Crit Asp.Benefic: 805p (Single Target)

The only time SCH comes out on top is with a Critlo, and even then it's only by 35p. And we can't exactly rely on being able to get a crit. We can't even reasonably fish for them any more with the stat rebalances from the expansion and Adlo's increased cost.
