How could you do this to AST?

Wrong. Fight design makes regens objectively better for almost all content. Conceptually Shields are always more powerful than Regens, because while Regens have greater healing potency, Shields grant temporary HP, allowing for living through things players shouldn't, while also expanding the Healer role's power to influence the Tank's efficacy.

You underestimate me. I know full well that actually optimizing regens is a pain in the ass. That doesn't change its power conceptually. The most powerful regen in the world won't save you from a hit that deals 1 more HP than your HP total. If they wanted to, they could balance fights such that shields are required for every single raid wide, or all non-tanks die. They don't do this in hardly anything.

yup been trying to say this forever. many times noct saved me even with low hp than dirunal when am full hp and still can get 1 hit by certain mechs lol. I burn more mana in dirunal than noct. i seen too much proof on trash pulls when i use dirunal vs noct and most ill use like 1k or 2k mp, while whole dirunal alot more . I even have still throw es more in dirunal where I only use 1 or no es and eith 4k crit atm my shields crit big alot. I respected diruanal more back in storm blood when aspected helios was 30 seconds lasting and aspected benefic regen was 20 seconds(not too sure so correct me). Regens dont be lasting too long enough nore tick fast enough to me to counter the damage being done by 10+ mobs on large pulls. and trying to throw aspect bene dirunal and helios back to back using 1200 no total vs aspect noct and celestial intersection regen with cu auto cancel and maybe a few benefic 1 only if tank gear is not too good else yes I use alot lesser mp in noct than dirunal. Also for those saying sch shields and noct as shields dont work together is not fully but part wrong. Only shields that do not work together is noct field/gal. celestial op shield can stack with galavine and noct field will not cancel out catalize of sch. Dirunal shields ofc intersection/netrual shield can work with gal and cata. I honestly see the main fight with this is they did a bad mistake to make whm and and dirunal ast regens stack with each other should have did what they did with noct ast and sch. Both sec is equally good to me I still fail to see how dirunal passes noct in anyway. sure noct both fields overwrite each other but its the same concept of succor/alqo of sch.
