I think the point is that Noct CU and Sacred Soil are the same, but CU has a smaller radius and requires the healer to stop and do nothing. It has horrible negatives compared to Sacred Soil that can be cast at range, and SCH can follow up with a Succor to further shield party members from AOE damage if they wanted - because it's not channeled hey!

Whats the benefit for making CU so much more limited compared to Sacred Soil? The fact that it can regen OR shield means nothing when you can't stance dance either - besides which it's hardly a positive, just switching what spell it's comparable to.

So how is expecting noct CU to be better in someway compared to Sacred Soil crazy, given the above downsides to the spell?
