Please tweak Summoner's Aetherflow ability while having 3 stacks of Aethertrail.

Can you please make it where having 3 stacks of Aethertrail's locks you out of using the ability "Aetherflow" before using them for Dreadwyrm trace. It can easily mess up a player if they already have 3 stacks of Aethertrail and they fail to notice before hand then use aetherflow to get locked out of it for another 60 secs without any effect happening the player only being punish for failing to notice due to focusing on in game mechanics or etc. There have been multiple times where I have failed to notice that I have 3 Aethertrail stacks and used Aetherflow just to be locked out for 60 secs, so I can only imagine how it is for other people.

I failed to notice it a few times too at first mainly due to muscle memory but I'm mostly used to it now. ;)

I'm still having the same problem especially when I switch off too Sch, or any other job I use, then return to Smn.

I'm having the same problems to the point where I've given up on SMN at the moment. So far it's the only gauge that messes me up the most out of all the classes.

I do not have a problem with it, I just dislike the new system since it hurts opener DPS. I think the problem is the coding of the graphic, it does not know how to save the aertherflow stacks while building DT or in DT.

Solo SMN is def unplayable without sustain though, really like to know why it was removed

The graphic is working as intended. Once you hit 3 stacks of Aethertrail, then that's it your not allowed to gain anymore. The only reason for Aetherflow to still be usable while building DT is for miss fires on a fester or bane, but once you get all 3 slots filled that's it your basically cut off from gaining anymore stacks of Aetherflow until you use DWT and Death flare, die, or switch to a new map.

How so? Is it because of muscle memory or is it sometimes hard to tell from a glance if you have 3 Aethertrail stacks?

I submitted a bug report on this to either lock it out or return to the way it used to operate.

Use your gauge. You're gonna have to just get used to the change. I still hit the buttons for attacks that no longer are even there out of habit from the old rotation. But so long as I watch my meters, i never miss that I can use Dreadworm

The gauge is just clutter as far as I'm concerned. Even at the smallest you can make it, it just takes too much space and hides the countdown ticker with flashy junk that has no purpose. This is another change SE made that wasn't requested or needed like dropping of Sustain and the Sprint changes. In any event at a minimum Aetherflow should be locked from the time the bar is full until Dreadwyrm Trance is no longer active. They already lock it out once you activate Dreadwyrm so locking on a full bar shouldn't be a problem.
