I don't like the Job Gauges, add the timers back on the buff bar

Didn't Yoshi-P say that we could still view the buffs on the buff bar? I find the new job gauges really inconvenient. I rather have all my stuff in one single place. Please give us this option.

Almost as bad, you can't see any related info on your party member's bars anymore either. Had a Monk get pissed for pulling before he had 5/5 Chakra ready earlier. I figured he'd pause only when done, and can't see the actual amount anymore. Same issue with Aetherflow, Ammo, or AST cards...

Totally this too. I used to look at the SCH stacks to see what shape we were in if things were going south.

Even worse with dragoon's eye stacks and botd timer. Guess which class has to try to pull ahead of the tank to not be an aoe deadweight in dungeons, having sprint on cd and saving their aoe for 1 second to spare? Even if it's fun it's annoying both for dragoons and the tanks in the duty.

Double AST can't see what we have held and what enhancement we have active. Have already seen over rights of cards a few times. Yes we can type but in the middle of battle you can't take your hands off the mouse usually in this new content, and you are not in a voice chat system with pugs so.

I'm mixed in that I think they've shoehorned in bars where they don't need to be (Aether Stacks and lillies) and now I'm finding a bunch of places where they could have absolutely added it to the UI for convenience but just didn't and if makes it all feel half-assed.
For Astro, why don't Earthly and Giant dominance have indicators? that seems almost like a given to have a notch that clicks across the top of that chronometer UI, but no, it's still stuck in that buff bar, so I have to look at both for my own awareness.

Monk doesn't need to count dragon balls just to see they have 5 Chakra, that's just space.

Aetherflow stacks really need to be on the party list.

it still show tank stances, why not that?

I feel that the gauge is fine, but some should still show up in the party list for other members of a party. I get why they wanted to declutter it, but for some abilities/stacks its necessary to bring it back...
