How could you do this to AST?

[IceBlueNinja]

Unfortunately, when every scoop of ice cream is basically the same flavor, the only way you can have any difference, even if subtle, is alter the way the ice cream is delivered.
Let's say AST is vanilla ice cream. For me, Nocturnal was the dark chocolate-dipped waffle cone to Diurnals churro bowl; both are good, though many would flock to the churro bowl for the way it adds that extra savory sweetness to the creamy confection and the time spent into making it presentable. But for as unexciting as it may be, I've always preferred that crispy waffle and sharp dark-chocolate to enhance that simple, refreshing vanilla.

It's just a shame that many healers lately have shown a tendency to break their cones and bowls when they don't even have to handle them that carefully. For efficiency and cost-effectiveness, I suppose it would only be a matter of time until all scoops are forced into styrofoam bowls and plastic spoons, so as not to ruin the the full course meal that is the rest of the team.

...All that being said, thank you for your explanation on the nuances that Nocturnal and Diurnal sects both bring.

Amen , you know what lets just enjoy our noct stance play till it is gone then just transfer to sage if needs be , who know maybe like noct ast (which is cool)but just more better. I hope and will laugh if SE does force the need to have 1 barrier and 1 healer and does make mechs be heavy on shield so that the all so mighty regens become incompetent , if am rarely bored and play whm and get an ast that go dirunal it just makes me so annoyed now ofc I get another whm partner there is no argument there on double regens then but with ast, why do I need you to do regens too when I can already do it , I like you to apply migitation(in noct) then ill top off the remaining damage with regens of my own (plentary + med 2 or rapture everyone is full hp again oh and asylum if needs be too which is to me better than cu because it +10% heal increase for any other class who has heals where as ast is stuck in one place and its bye if its move even though we kept that specific sect ability and lose the other) then we both can get back to our happy dpsing. I bet as I said like (10 times+ ) if they didnt let dirunal regens work with whm regens, then regens would not be so overrated as it always is (insert a sephiroth best villian of all ff here which aint really true).
