Honestly noct astro should probably just be deleted i was surprised it survived into shb ofc that would require other changes but it's always felt weak and its seems like se has no idea how to solve its issues

I know and I agree with you that Noct astro always felt weak. Buth the reason for that, IMO, is exactly the absence of shield and mitigation at the skills when you compare with the scholars. When they introduced astro with 2 sects, one for regen and one for shield, it would be the same to introduce two healers at the same time without being aware of it. The change of sect changes its entire way of playing and obviously, the skill on one sect, does not work the same way for the other sect. So if they treat astro as 2 healers individually, I think they can manage to solve the issues regarding the healing resources by starting on the effects on each sect.

People keep comparing AST's heal with WHM or SCH yet also forgetting that those two cannot buff other class' damage like AST can. Maybe the devs think that AST's heal should be weaker than its fellow healers because of this?

How about no. I love Nocturnal Stance.

Idk what the devs think, but that's not a constructive stance to take. If AST has more offensive potential than the other healers, but can't heal as well, it will be the only viable choice once healing requirements drop off. If it doesn't, there's no reason for it to lag behind in terms of defensive potential.
