Our choices are buffing WHM by an absolutely massive amount to reach SCH while also buffing AST in both sects or bringing the bottom up and the top down. I think the latter is the better option for the sake of the longevity of content.
Uuuuh ok now I understand, thanks!
I never actually wondered about the comparison between SCH and AST because they work so well together, thus my position of finding a spot to WHM in that position.

But let's say nerfing SCH oGCD healing potency (such as indom and exco), it will automatically require healing compensation from both healers (more shielding and more top up afterwards for instance, or keep tanks higher than what we currently do), so maybe it will force some GCD heal on the AST and the SCH, and then naturally bring their DPS output a bit down, for that number of GCD. But that still does not make a reliable spot for WHM (or noct AST).
