I think it would be a great idea to have diurnal sect on automatically upon switching to AST.

Frees one button and makes sure you have a stance instead of none. No downside at all!

I'm just not sure if it's even possible to implement like that though... are there any jobs that automatically get an ability activated when switching to them (other than gatherers, they may be special in that regard)? Or they would really have to make it into a trait, but then we would probably lose the diurnal sect animation.
If people really want to keep the animation, they could make Nocturnal Sect animation when Diurnal Sect is active, and Diurnal Sect animation / Skill when Nocturnal Sect is active. Though I'm all for this QoL, it frees up one slot without losing anything - people can still jump into Nocturnal Sect and prep shield while jumping back into Diurnal Sect after if it's a toggle outside of combat.
