Possible AST nerf

[Ootarion]

Kinda like how sch shields are now?
If we decide not to nerf ast and just make sch shields stronger then what's the point of a whm? On a ast I can already negate 90% of the damage and if you make sch shield more then that lol...... no one is going be losing health

I main whm since ARR
But right now I'm playing ast cuz dafaq? I can keep a aoe balance a good 60-70% of the fight that alone is broken enough and with the new patch coming it its going make it easyer to aoe balance.

Oh and btw NO ONE is calling nocturnal worthless. Nocturnal beats Diurnal in a land slide. You say you want balance for all healers but in reality you don't care you just don't want your main nerfed.

I have heard people call Nocturnal worthless compared to Diurnal, hearing things like "Shouldnt be using Noct" or "Diurnal is better". Btw, regardless of what you think, I do care about balance, I want things to be fair. If you knew me as a person, you would know that. I have no assurances that whatever nerf is applied wont be to big of a nerf and we all know that when nerfs come, they have ended up being to big more then once. I will also admit that there are times when buffs were to big, but just because I dont see AST shielding as OP, doesnt mean I am wanting to ignore fairness, I just genuinely do not see how or why AST shielding is op compared to SCH, and again, before Nocturnal shielding got it's buff, I never once used the shields, not for more then 1 minute in a dungeon simply because they just weren't useful. I am adamantly defending AST as it is now, because I know from experience that its shields needed a buff. Am I wrong in that the shields needed to be buffed from what they were before?. If you want to accuse me as not caring, then go ahead....
