But it's not. All Diurnal gives you are very weak healing ticks from Aspected Helios/Benefic which have never stopped any burst. In Noct, if you keep shields up, you party members basically have extra 10-15% HP at all times which is a good mitigation. Diurnal has zero mitigation. And your main party healing spell, Helios, is actually 5% stronger in Noct because of sect healing boonus. And if you'll go full Piety+Crits build those critted shields are pretty strong.
