AST should have one default and one toggled sect

[Seraphor]

'Being able to shield' isn't much of an identity if you ask me, since 2/3 of the healers can do it. And if we can strip out a load of bogus identity crap to make way for actual job identity, that would be pretty nice.

I agree that healer identities need to distance away from being either regen or shield healers, but this is a fundamental part of the AST's indentity, and removing Nocturnal sect would just fuel the concept of AST merely being a WHM clone even further.
I think all healers need to be able to do both to some degree, and the sects is ASTs way of doing this evenly.

I think Nocturnal sect should be made more relevant personally, and perhaps this could be forced by simply making Diurnal Benefic and Regen unable to stack or something like that. Therefore WHM+AST forces you into Nocturnal sect just as much as SCH+AST forces you into Diurnal.
