Healers that don't want to DPS are like DPSes who refuse to move out of AoEs.

Look at the potencies yourself. Painflare is 200. If you bane, you can use it twice. Holy is also too

When we take dots out of picture

Summoner: 200. 50..50..200...400

White Mage: 200..200..200..200..200..200..200

We also can't blow 6 stacks of aetherflow in one pull or we'll have nothing for the next. So using the second set isn't an option.

Summoner definitely does more aoe damage in the long run but in like 20 second encounters, we don't beat a white mage that burns all their MP on holy.

The dots are 140 total with shadowflare + bio/miasma/bio 2, which go up instantly with tridisaster and bane and swift/shadowflare, so that's a background 190..190..190.. with blizzard II added on, then add in Painflare and Deathflare. Then add in raging strikes and enkindle/aerial slash.

Regardless of Potencies, the SMN does nearly 2x damage of WHM on trash packs when parsed.

On a 20 second encounter, we most certainly beat WHM.

EDIT: Also, missed this part on my first response, never use both stacks of aetherlow lol.. Just 1 stack is needed to melt a trash pack.
