Changelist for ast ^_^

Adlo is still 74% stronger in this scenario.

For this scenario yes. And my scenario isn't that one, is it?
Also you can't compare Synastry with Fey Illumination, the two buffs work differently.

We might even see AST/AST combos in order to make fflogs explode, in scenarios where the Limit Break reduction doesn't matter.

Sadly enough, people already do that.

I'm not sure, you didn't specific any singular scenario in your post, so perhaps you could elaborate? I was just stating how inaccurate your statement and number is when looking at it from a raid buster scenario that absolutely needs to be survived to progress. If a 432 potency shield allows raid to survive a raid buster and a 247 potency shield doesn't, who do you think will be taken into progression raiding? Thus Deployed Adlo is still a thing if it nets your raid the necessary eHP to survive the encounter. Of course this is dependent on fight design and ilvl of the raid, etc.

As it stands right now, you're generally using Aspected Helios for a different scenario than you would Deployed Adlo just because of the Deployed's two minute CD. When you consider if in that context this is something SCH does excessively well (block one singular massive hit to the raid) compared to AST. AST handles repeated AoE damage better (Brute Justice spamming needles) than SCH would.

Also you can't compare Synastry with Fey Illumination, the two buffs work differently.

They work differently but for the context of the discussion they both provide a 20% increase to healing power thus netting the same bonus and thus negating each other.

My scenario was: Each healer use one of their abilities and one spell. With no other factor both shield for similar numbers.
And yeah SCH will still be used for early progression for world and server racers more because no one will want to learn a new job now and SCH is still more powerfull. As for raid busters... Except for Primal Ultimates that take 3 years for them to charge at you, in A8S for example you don't have time to set up all of that on most Kicks... And most raid busters from primals are survivable just with Succor and everyone full health. But in the end seems like we both agree SCH is stronger for one single AoE and AST for repetitive ones.
