The Case for the WHM Party Buff

Was just about the post this myself.

Josco, your PPS calculations make the assumption each spell is being cast constantly.
Stone IV every 2.5s with no breaks, Assize every 45s without fail, etc.

Fact is, this isn't possible. The much larger factor here is that WHMs entire spellset is probitive to oGCD weaving, which results in a lot of clipping.
SCH has more DoTs (or did have) and more instant GCDs meaning weaving oGCD heals and buffs doesnt impact pDPS as much.
AST has shorter cast times and buffs to shorten them even further, thus less clipping and more pDPS uptime.
