I was a Noct for trash wall to wall pulls. It was a nice (stop time) while I figured who needed what and if they needed heals, the shield was good to just HALT basically. Now (before and after patch) it's just a no. You HAVE to be Diurnal. Tanks need constant incoming HP. Even with buffs it is a nice buffer but (and this could totally be a tank issue in they feel they need to pull everything wall to wall constantly regardless mind you of the sprout healer [not me but on DNC i've seen it recently ugh]) Noct is now a bonus to my diurnal state. Like oh if I do this ability I * also * get a shield. As opposed to having an entire stance and kit previous to now.
