5.0 AST is a failure

[Seraphor]

To add to this once you get Neutral sect you want to avoid Nocturnal more as for whatever reason while Neutral sect is active Aspected Benefic still costs 1k mp in Nocturnal while Diurnal costs 500 mp for the exact same effect, i really hope this was an oversight because that is so lopsided to Duirnal it ain't even funny.

They really do seem to overestimate the efficacy of shields.
They seem to balance it around mitigating tank busters, but in Noct Sect, you're using them for every pull.
