Suggestion for the Dev team for Summoner Enkindle.

Enkindle right now is meh at most. Can you please make it where enkindle takes from aetherflow and nerf the potency to 200 with a 30 second cd. Maybe make it where it only takes 1 or all 3 stacks of aetherflow.

Hell no. Keep that OGC far away from Aetherflow, but yes, it needs an increase for the massive 5 minute cooldown it has.

Why? I'm not even being snarky or facetious here... SMN are already top DPS in any movement-heavy fight, which constitutes the bulk of endgame. Why do they need a DPS buff? Just because Enkindle looks cool and you want to be able to use it more often? Is there something about the job I'm not grasping here? I'd rather they buff the MP restored by Energy Drain if they were going to buff any aspect of SMN.

Feel free to correct me if I've overlooked something about Enkindle.

Because it fires the primal's signature move, and traditionally summoned monster signature moves have always been a big nuke (or heal, or status inflicter). In Final Fantasy XIV, they kinda lack oomph. So it's disappointing to say the least, especially given the large cooldown on it. Even in FF XI, their big nukes were (at least when was playing, which means it could've changed by now) the only attack that could break the damage cap. (of course they could only do it every 2 hours real time)

I for one, wouldn't mind it consuming all your stacks of aetherflow and do extra damage scaled to how many stacks you had. Should balance it out a bit, since to get max damage on the Enkindle, we'd have to sacrifice 3 Festers to pull it off.

I kind of want to have full control over each my aetherflow stacks. I don't think I want Enkindle attatched to aetherflow. It's Smn's special move - it's suppose to be on a long cooldown. Why does it need to be attached to aetherflow?

Keep My character away from your ideas.

I agree with you on the energy drain move, but enkindle feels under appreciated. It has great effects the damage is instant and high damage (something SMN lacks a deal great of). And in a lot of situations aetherflow enkindle can be very useful.
