SCH concern on DPS. Healers dps comparison

Apparently there was a mistranslation with Bane, and it only lowers by 20% if there're 2+ enemies. I have a link to the source, if it's cool to post links here.

I honestly REALLY wish this is the case!! Only a 20% reduction isn't so bad. Still... only 50 potency per tick , but... better than 14 potency LOL

if that works the way we hope it does, then thats a slight buff to Bane. The current bane is cut to 50% after the 4th enemy.

Yeah, though Bane still works full potency for the first three enemies, so it is definitely very strong.

If the nerf to Bane is just a 20% damage reduction on all enemies, then it's not that bad. It's still a much worse AoE skill than WHM and AST's due to the permanent loss of Bio, but coupled with Shadow Flare's ticks it might not be as awful as we have been thinking it is.

However, if there's further damage decrease after the third enemy and onward, then, well... yeah...

Reading the bluegartr translation just cements what we already assumed. With two or more targets, potency is reduced by 20% (to a minimum of 20%). Its just a different way of saying the same thing, two enemies it drops 20% to a minimum damage of 20%.

The bluegartr comment just doesn't make sense whatsoever. Like there is some difference betwen Flare and Bane translation, but there is not.

Japanese says: Reduction increases by 10% per enemy, starting at the 2nd, lowest value 50%. Or for Bane 20% per enemy, starting at the second, lowest value is 20%.

WHM has the least utility and has the highest dps
Scholars have some utility and middle ground dps
AST has the most utility and lowest dps.

That's single target, multi target it's WHM >> AST >> SCH. At 4 targets WHM DPS is roughly 50% higher than SCH, while AST is about 25% (not counting cards).
