I can see that being a decisive factor for 1st time clears with AST + SCH. 450 + 240 = 690 potency...that's some hilarious amount of damage with both combusts, it's not tiny lol. Bio II ticks for about 245 damage full i170 with an i180 weapon meaning it roughly does 2450 damage. Bio ticks for about 265 every tick, meaning it's about 1470 total damage. Both SCH DoTs are 4k damage unbuffed (no foe requiem and stuff). Add in Combust and Combust II and you have almost 10k damage from both healers with a couple casts each, add in stuff such as Fey Wind and all the cards from AST and party damage further increases. WHM on the other hand, if things do not change regarding accuracy, will be forced to play the whack a mole healing role. What's gonna happen is: if Alexander happens to be EXTREMELY healing intensive (and when I say extremely I mean........EXTREMELY LOL) that your party receives 10k chunks of AOE damage and you are so desperate because you can hardly keep up with an AST + SCH (highly unlikely), a WHM might have a spot in 1st world clears.
