AST Sect Theory

[Apeiron]

Here's some data for you:
-Ilvl 181 AST with i180 Law wep
In Diurnal, my A. Benefic heals for 1200 initially followed by 6 ticks of 600 hp per, for a total of 5500 healing
Also in diurnal, my Benefic 1 heals for 2550 hp on average.
Casting A. Benefic once and Benefic 1 for each tick of the hot after (that's 6 casts) that nets me a total hp healed of 20700

In Nocturnal, my Benefic II heals for 4500 and my Benefic 1 heals for 2700.
Following the same pattern as above, if I cast Benefic II and then Benefic 1 six times afterwards I end up with a total hp healed of... 20700

Something to consider though... this assumes these spells will be cast at a 1:6 ratio. If however, you cast fewer benefics per Benefic II/Diurnal A benefic, the more Diurnal sect becomes more efficient than Nocturnal. On the flipside, the more Benefics you cast per Benefic II/Diurnal A benefic, the more potent Nocturnal becomes.

Lastly, please remember that this is only considering these 3 specific spells, all of which are single target. ASTs AoE healing potency is something I'm not going to comment on other than to say it's pretty lackluster in either sect.

Thanks for posting this. This is awesome.
