effectively impossible? hardly, we all know SE's stubborn refusal about suggestions to make noct equal to diurnal.

Why an mp penalty? why can't it stack shields with itself like sch? why can't its shields stack with sch?

No SE caused this problems, and rather than accept they were wrong with these elements, they decide to just cut them rather than listen to the players who play the jobs.
