    The sheer number of ASTs I've seen in the past weeks pretending this is okay is really starting to annoy me.
    I'm going to keep it simple.
    Nocturnal AST aspected benefic:
    -230/575 heal/shield. SCH's is 300/300
    -instant cast. SCH's has a cast time
    -costs less MP. SCH's adloquium had an MP cost increase, on top of aetherflow MP return being cut from 20% to 10%. Casting adloquium twice = MP cost of raise
    -nocturnal aspected helios > succor. 172.5/258.75 vs 150/150
    -AST now has eye 4 eye
    -AST now has better AOE damage than SCH with how badly they nerfed bane, removing one of their dots that would have been spread by bane, the removal of blizzard 2, and miasma 2 (which I guess they're going to give back, but it was only 20 potency aoe, with a 10 potency DOT, so it won't do nearly enough to replace everything they axed)
    -AST AOE healing isn't tied to 30 second cooldowns

    SCH's advantage is now limited to:
    -number of OGCD heals
    -crit adloquium (which costs too much MP)

    How about people be honest, read tooltips, do some math, and realize that thanks in part ASTs being buffed for literally years as well as several nerfs, SCH lost a major chunk of its identity. It's not hyperbole to say you may as well play nocturnal sect AST at this point. SE went too far with AST buffs, and SCH pruning, and they know it from the last live letter.
