In the 70+ dungeons AST feels more like the pure healer because you don’t get much opportunity to cast your dps spells. I find diurnal sect not very useful since the tank gets hit with lots of damage, so I have to go noct.

I also find myself having to use lucid much more now and get through the 10000 mp fast which limits big pulls quite a bit.

Also the divination spell isn’t available enough and the cd is too long. Plus that other “blue looking” aoe spell doesn’t seem to heal for much.

I find Noct to be useless in the 70+ dungeons because the mobs hit so hard and the Noct shield is paper due to the weak healing potencies. Throw on top the fact that the massive mana cost difference between throwing the shield on or throwing the regen on is a good 2x cost increase on Noct and I would not be using Noct outside of boss battles really. Its too costly. While the diurnal regen potency is as strong as the WHM one and I can stack it with all the other regens.

Using DIurnal allows one to save on MP and be able to occasionally actually do DPS. Especially when you got a properly gear tank and not a paper tank running around in quest whites.

Totally agreeing here. Diurnal is absolute superior against nocturnal in dungeons. On top of that you have a shield (Intersection) ready for every pull and within pulls too.
