    Benefic2 potency is 620. Cure 2 is 650.

    380 is 5% less than 400, and 620 is 5% less than 650.

    AST sects increase speed or power by 5%.

    Regen ASP. Benefic's regen is less potent, but unlike WHM regen, it does do instant healing+HoT.
    Barrier ASP. Benefic's barrier can be stronger than Stoneskin's barrier. By can, Stoneskin applies a barrier =10% target's max HP, you'll likely need a crit for ASP. Benefic to outdo stoneskin on a pure vit tank. However asp. benefic will apply a stronger barrier on most others. ASP. Benefic also heals, can crit, and is instant cast unlike Stoneskin; it's also cheaper than Stoneskin too.

    By default, they are just as effective as WHM, at a cheaper price.
    And by default, I mean while no CDs that alter their performance were used such as a 30% boost in healing power, that WHMs have.
    AST don't have a CD that boosts their raw healing power like WHMs do though.

    I'm sorry what, how are they just as effective? They have some similar skills but ast isn't more effective than white mage even in mp potency.
    Let's do some comparisons shall we?
    1. Aspected benefic is instant, but the hot is lower than regen from a white mage. 100 potency vs 150 potency
    2. Whitemage has more oh shit buttons
    3. Whitemage has divine seal, that's a huge healing potency increase while the only healing potency increase ast has is nocturnal stance and that's by 5%. Stronger heals=less mp used unless you're over healing
    4. Ast has one maybe two three heals that don't cost mp besides essential dignity if you count synastry and collective unconscious which is very situational Where whitemage has tetragramation, benediction (300s cd though), assize and asylum 3 of which are instant heals and one restores mp
