AST's weakness in end game

[HopeEstheim]

.

This is exactly the problem: your co-healer doesn't want to DPS. WHM/AST combo allows more AoE healing output and stronger single target burst for both healers, which means that both of you can stance dance in different situations and add your share of DPS. You can't use the same healing strategy you use for WHM/SCH because Nocturnal is not supposed to be a SCH replacement. Scratch the 2.X meta and use new strategies, instead of trying to make a job do something it was not designed to do.

Again this was not a complaint, just a fact, I don't have any problem in term of healing with my co healer. Of course a N. Sect AST will never replace a SCH, and I like the fact that I can adapt myself to all the situation with the stances. But anyway I was just saying that I prefer using Diurnal instead of Nocturnal with my co healer, nothing else. Moreover I don't care if I have to handle all the dps part myself, I love my AST too much, I will never change back to SCH, as long as it doesn't slow down my static.
