AST Sect Theory

[Apeiron]

Got to make this brief. Did some numbers for you. Diu - Benefic II healed for 3600ish, Noct - Benefic II for 3900ish. Diu Aspected Benefic Regen is about 500ish a tick. So yes, front loaded Noct is doing more healing but when you add HoT into the mix, Diu overtakes the benefit in one tick. Noct does have uses though, mainly speed runs where you can add an extra buffer to the tank and not get hate from it but as a whole... Noct sucks and needs buff/change.

Well go level up to 60 then so you are on the same page as everyone else =P

Thanks for at least running numbers. Now, was this just with a training dummy or did you run this in content? I ask because the 500/tick is important if it's healing more than incoming damage. Otherwise we're par for the course, and that's only kind of okay.

You responded to the same post, twice. Check my follow-up.

Are you are actually suggesting that AST goes Nocturnal with SCH simply because of the 5% bonus on Benefic I/II and Helios, while neglecting Aspected Helios/Benefic? Because that's what I'm starting to get from this. Diurnal offers far more HEALING POTENTIAL than Nocturnal can by using Aspected Benefic/Helios.

I fixed my post, please look at it and reply as you see fit

I'm suggesting that the SCH is a powerhouse in it's own right, which we all acknowledge, and doesn't require a WHM or WHM fill-in to get through tougher content. The +5% to healing potency means that the AST adds 304.5 AoE healing to the SCH 150 + shields. That instead of a 400 potency heal + 300 potency heals from fairy, the AST assists with benefic at 399 potency or benefic II at 651. Diurnal only offers stronger healing potential if there isn't a greater amount of incoming damage than the HoT can cover. That is what I'm suggesting.
