SCH needs help

So in the case of WHM/SCH. The 150 potency of using an aetherflow skill can be less then the 300 potency WHM looses using lilies and Misery. So what I'm seeing is that, outside of cleave encounters it's worth more dps to trade an energy Drain to do say Sacred Soil or a non Recitation-Indom to prevent a WHM from needing to use a lily.

Except 3 Lilies is a lot more healing than one Aetherflow skill. As long as there's enough damage in the whole fight to do all your Misery, each Afflatus skill is a 75p loss over Glare, a bit less than Ruin II, and less than the multiple Aetherflow required to do the same job.

Correct me if I’m wrong but.. wasn’t it a 300 total potency loss for every Misery? Glare is 300 potency and 4 GCDs worth is 1200 potency. You need to spend 4 GCDs to use Misery which amounts to 900 potency so that means you lose 300 potency overall. Unless I’m missing something?

You're correct in your assessment. You have to get Misery out to get the best efficiency possible, and it is a loss of 300 over spamming Glare.
That said, you used 3 Lilies worth of healing, which will usually cover a lot more than the Aetherflow equivalent.

If, over the course of the entire fight, there is less than 3 Lilies worth of healing to be done, then yes, by all means have your SCH cohealer do it.

P.S. Note that this doesn't consider the use of Lilies for movement, which reinforces my point anyway.
