To be fair, that's the main complain from SCH, the AOE power, because it was really nerfed to the ground, getting to the point where is almost non existing.

It's "HB" in brackets, for "Hidden box" I think

spoils!

On AoE damage though, Whm gets a buff on assize, if the CD does go from 90 to 60sec, but in an AoE pull takes that long you'll have other problems so it shouldn't really change much. And it looks like holy and aero III (mostly) were unchanged.

Bane changes a lot depending upon target number, and they only get 70 potency from dots (instead of 110) since they don't get corruption mastery III. This leaves bane damage at about 51% at 4 total targets, and 40% at 10 total targets. Also, while you could use tri-bind that's a SMN skill, nevermind. SCH used to be able to use blizzard 2 for 50pot/target, or broil at 170, now broil II is 230, so it's a buff of about 15% at 4 targets, but quickly falls off after that to 46% at 10 targets. My condolences to SCH's AoE.

AST gains earthly star, for, if you're patient, 200 pot/min. It seems gravity is unchanged though, so AST also only gets a small buff in AoE

*all these ignore cleric stance, as it should affect the healers equally in that we don't have to turn it on to do damage, but we also lose the 10% buff.

If those potency calculations hold over into practice and real numbers in game then whm is the king of healers personal burst dps. The trick is can whm mages sustain it over say the scholar which their sustained dps might bypass the whm.
