I've always wondered why Celestial Opposition doesn't spread Aspected Benefic + Cards from the AST to party members in range when in Nocturnal (à la Deployment Tactics) when early previews of Heavensward hinted at Astrologian having that kind of skill in its toolkit. That probably would have been the best way to make it intersect well enough with Nocturnal's toolkit, while giving AST another strong mitigation tool mimicking something that SCH is also capable of. It also makes sense with its animation and suspiciously shares a 120s CD with DT, it always seemed like it was a pretty natural fit to me.

That skill never made much sense to me, it was so underwhelming when 3.0 got released I couldn't help but wonder whether it had been nerfed from their dev environment.

Anyway, that's just rambling at this point. Opposition is the least of Nocturnal AST's problems and I don't believe they'll be able to achieve true healer parity before the next expansion. Still fun to speculate about it.
