Pure/Barrier Split is a failure

[Absurdity]

The only comp that has consistently never worked out is Diurnal Sect AST and WHM. In this design of mitigation being king, WHM really does feel massively lacking in the mitigation/shield department. At least AST has Neutral Sect and Collective Unconscious to fall back on.

I remember it somewhat working in Alphascape (though probably not at minimum ilvl) because it didn't have the same spike damage that it does now where not mitigating an aoe just has your non-tank players drop dead instantly. I would like to check healer logs from Stormblood to confirm but unfortunately those are archived on fflogs.
