Just as an FYI - Aspected Benefic still gets the 5% bonus on healing power so Noct Aspected Benefic is actually 2 * floor(250 * 1.05) = 524 potency instant eHP heal. With that being said, it's not exactly fair to compare AST to a SCH who isn't using a Fairy since the Fairy is an essential part of their kit. Saying a SCH without a Fairy is like saying an AST is not using their cards and not making use of a Sect.

Also have some food for thought. SCH + Fairy embrace on a single target is at least 520 potency @ 442 MP versus Noct Aspected Benefic 524 Potency @ 707 MP. AST slightly wins the heal race in that respect at the cost of a lot more MP.

I've suggested in a different thread that Benefic II proc have something to do with what Sect you're in. Diurnal is always about time (faster heals / healing about time) while Noct is about power (higher potency / shielding effects). So, with that in mind, I suggest:
  • Diurnal Sect - Make Benefic II an oGCD ability
  • Nocturnal Sect - Either make Benefic II more potent (perhaps 20%) or reduce the MP cost (perhaps 25%)
