this post is even funnier when you know that diurnal is vastly superior to noct to the point that pretty much the only situation in which you run Noct outside of very early prog is if there are two ASTs in the group. Most of the time any absolutely necessary shielding is handled by Neutral sect in WHM/ AST comps.


its partially due to fight design though to be fair. shields will always be inferior to HOTs when damage will not kill without a shield.
