How could you do this to AST?

the whole sch shield/better than noct not true

LB generation penalties and SCH is genuinely a better healer than a Noct AST in every respect that would matter to a Diurnal AST.

Scholar's healing capability is more than a potency-measuring contest between two GCD shields. Shielding is a niche capability in FFXIV. Your off-GCD heals are what make or break your class most of the time, not the size of your bubbles. Scholar is a better healer than Noct AST because it's better at supporting and enabling its cohealer to squeeze more out of their kit.
