Bring Back Sects

[SalamanderIX]

I like the idea, since it would kill regen/barrier healer as a thing. It just makes healer slots harder to fill.

I'm not dealing with that garbage again, join a party as a different healer and the AST inside is always like "sry, I only play diurnal, can u swap?" or "nocturnal only, can u swap off sch and play whm?". SE gave AST 2 stances and people would outright refuse to use one of them and just pose as a prettier SCH/WHM, when they had far more flexibility than a WHM or SCH. While I don't oppose its return, I dread the thought that there would be a return of AST posers who are just people that didn't want to play WHM/SCH due to aesthetics.

Shoutout to the ones who actually used both sects though, you were so lovely to play with.

If they refuse to switch to a different sect, then don't give them a commend. I would say kick them, too, but idk if SE would approve. But any content you'd find a random party for won't break you if you have double "pure" or double "shield" healers, so it won't matter. If it's on PF for ex or savage, well the party will simply remove them like they do anyone else who isn't performing. Just because there are some bad apples does not mean you deny the whole group of their fun.

I'd imagine there's some overlap between these people and those who didn't want to deal with the card system too
