hi.

I dont understand how WHM is dead because of the AST changes. All of the changes that are relevant to healing, have been from Noct Sect. Not Diurnal. A quick look at the numbers shows that in Diurnal sect, an ASTs shields are stronger than SCHs. Using aspected Benefic and Adloquuim as an example here.

Adloquium = 300 potency, + 100% shield. (so a 300 potency shield) So youve output 600 potency.

Aspected Benefic in Noct Sect = 250 Potency, + 170% shield. 170% of 250 = 425. so 250 potency heal, + 425 potency shield is an output of 675. 75 potency more than the sch has put out. factor in the 10% healing magic potency granted by nocturnal sect, and couple that with Aspected Benefic being instant cast. and we can see that Aspected benefic is a better skill here.

So, I think, with that in mind, AST + WHM is probably the best healer combination. WHM has 10 more potency on its regen and medica effects. So with this setup you get bigger shields, bigger HOTs. WHM is a healing powerhouse. Assize is a great aoe heal and MP managment tool. Asylum is a wonderful addition to its HoT effects. and tetragrammaton. Giving WHM an instant cast heal thats a bit stronger than cure II. Cure III is also a great aoe tool. WHM excells at AoE and Single target healing. No cards, no faeries, just plain and simple, keep the party alive.

So with these changes to AST, i ask again, how is WHM dead? I dont see any SCHs crying because AST has better shields than them now. If it wasnt dead before 3.4, it isnt dead after
