AST should have one default and one toggled sect

[Heilstos]

The skills not stacking won't force Nocturnal. Nocturnal fails because shields aren't necessary in 90% of encounters, especially with allies who avoid avoidable damage.
If you don't need shields, then having them is worthless. So the sect that boasts higher healing numbers wins.

Nocturnal can't be forced unless shields are forced, and forced shields are eventually circumvented with tank cooldowns and gear progression. AST just needs a singular healing kit, with some regens and some shields, and no bogus 'dichotomy' shoehorned in.
The same with WHM, and SCH, and the next healer.

I think SE make this in this addon well. That OP, CI and neurtal sect.. For my person I like it to have a doubled asp. Helios and the play with the stances.



In an Opener you see that you can have strong shilds. So shilds are not a problem here. You get till shiva no much dmg for the first group buster. Same it you do not use noc field and a spreadlo form SCH.

Neutral makes a great Job and would like to tempt me to use GCD healing in the event of severe damage to groups without a guilty conscience.

This Healer Kit from the AST is powerful, BUT you have to understand how to play with this power. And I agree Yusi Kha in her thread that "Remove the GCD cost from on-demand healing". The AST has a great GCD healing Kit but it punnishes the DPS part.
I think its okay to use this Kit but than give the AST something for use a Asp. Benefic or Asp. Helios.

Atm you get punnished because using much GCD healing bruns your mana down, but CDs like Horocop or synastry force you to use them. And here is the problem in the Kit which is going to hold as "weakness" or special way to heal.

I liked the SHB healing kit because SE care about the CDs in Noc and found a way to make Diu in the pure hot stance.



The Noc stance make his Job great to participate inc. dmg. I watch a person with gthe name "Barlow" and he told his viewer that "Bring the Player and not the class".From my point of view, this philosophy stands out for the astrologer, which is certainly contestable.

I would be painfully touched if SE change these two strong forms in a 0815 healing direction. Just because the opinion prevails that a stance does not promise "sufficient" healing.

P.S.: For completeness I made a screenshot to reflect the shields and buffs in Nocturnal, which is not bad compared to the SB Nocturnal healer. And trust is a way to show how tall shilds can be on our friends^^
