What do you think makes Astrologian so strong?

SCH still have better shield abilities

Quick PSA that Succor is literally worse than nocturnal Aspected Helios potency wise.


Now does that mean that SCH has worse shields? Not really but it's still ridiculous to me.


Nocturnal AST: has Celestial Opposition, a 250 potency aoe shield oGCD on a 60 seconds cooldown.


SCH: has Seraph's Consolation, a 300 potency aoe shield with 2 charges on a 120 seconds cooldown...and since SE decided to make the fairy braindead again after fixing it in SB that's basically also an oGCD.


Nocturnal AST: Aspected Benefic, a 500 potency instant cast shield.


SCH: Adloqium, a 375 potency (not factoring in the bonus on a crit) shield with a base cast time of 2 seconds. You could use Recitation to make it a guaranteed 750 potency shield but that means you're basically giving up 1 Aetherflow.


Nocturnal AST: Aspected Helios, a 250 potency aoe shield with a base cast time of 2 seconds.


SCH: Succor, a 225 potency aoe shield with a base cast time of 2 seconds.
