I keep running into Astro running Shields in Farm PTs as a SCH. (Why?)

[vVAstrAVv]

AHonestly its probably just misinformation

Aspected benefic is decent pot and then you see that "woah 250%" and figure its better than schs shields which are only as much as they heal for ignoring the crit bonus

Nocturnal also boosts heals more than diurnal which may contribute

My advice would just be to let them shield
Asp benefic is insta cast unlike adlo
And with indom and emergency succor sch has TREMEMDOUS HEALS
If theyre so insecure as to go out of their way to do half of what you can let them do it

I cant speak for savage raids
But even in ridorana i can indom the party back to like 90% from any raid wides
A normal adlo or eos regen will top them off from that if i want
You have more than just shields after all
Show it off and steal all the comms lol
Asts aren't strong enough heal wise to stop you
Perhaps youll make them realize theyre gimping themselves by neglecting theyre versatility
