    WHM has strong DPS and due to HoTs it can stance dance easily as support. What it lacks in that role is MP conservation. That is where AST changes come in to supply MP to the WHM.

    I think that would actually make AST/WHM a competitive combination.

    Thoughts?
    It could work, but why pigeonhole a job that excels at burst healing into an off-heal/DPS role, when SCH already excels at it without having to hope for good card RNG to sustain their mana?

    Just looking at it from another angle. Since WHM has strong DPS as well and great sustained heals through HoTs, which compliments NoctAST as main heal for lacking great DPS and sustained heals.

    That's why I wondered if others had any views on that idea as well, since 3.2 Ewer can now put out 2210 MP per normal use.

    Ewer + RR Arrow/Spear = 4420 MP
    Ewer + RR Arrow/Spear + TD = 6630 MP
    Ewer + RR Bole + TD = 6630 MP

    Trough Draw, Redraw, and Spread you should be able to get that combo @ 2 minute intervals + Time Dilation is 90s CD

    What I wasn't sure of is how much MP WHM would actually need in that situation. From what I can see is that @ 14,000 MP it takes WHM roughly 3.5 minutes to go OOM in full DPS mode. (efficient usage of Shrouds/Assize) - so it would need an additional 4k MP/minute to sustain itself similar to SCH.

    Which should translate into needing ~18k MP + Ewer support. So I'm not sure if that would still make it as good, simply from WHM's stronger single target damage/burst damage + more controlled heals (multi regen compared to the fairy)
