Making this change would allow Astrologian to compete more in one area but lessen their ability to compete in another, making their only window to do this sort of thing in neutral sect while in diurnal.. Which I feel would just shoehorn the class even more into that sect.

I'd like to see them add an additional regen effect to Nocturnal as well.. But I feel that it should be separated from making any changes to Diurnal and shouldn't reduce their shielding potential which is already lower than Scholars.. Like possibly just giving Horoscope a regen effect if evolved to Horoscope Helios while in Nocturnal or evaulating whether maybe just adding a persistent regen back into Nocturnal collective would be overpowering.
I actually have an idea for reworking Horoscope.
Horoscope skill animation is like a time manipulatio (the clock rewind/backwards).
So why dont we change its effect to time manipulation like this:
D.AST
Reset regen duration (rewind time effect).
N.AST
Reapply same value of shield/double shield value (rewind time to apply shield).

Neutral Sect is a really strong CD but dont you think it is too strong?
We have access to both sect effect in full potency with +20% additonal healing buff for 15 sec.
I keep thingking will it be okay to reduce the potency of opposite sect effect maybe the potency is like 60-70% from the original?

In term of balancing healer, we can add an additional party shield for WHM that cost 2 Lily (afflatus veil?).
With this all healer will have access to shield and regen effect.
