BLM skill suggestion for movement heavy dungeons

[NyneAlexander]

Get rid of the ether manipulation skill (have not seen a single BLM using it since the Game is out) and instead, give the BLM a cast friendly skill for movement heavy fights.

/ac "Aether Manipulation" <mo>

This is a mouseover macro for AM. I use it all the time. I try and convince other BLMs to use it. Not only is it an awesome move, but in addition to helping you maintain good dps, it makes you look pretty bad a** when you use it mid-fight all the time.

Just cause players don't use all the tools they have available doesn't mean the tools are bad.


edit: after reading through this, I was thinking in my head about instances where i've used AE. Just gonna list a few in the last week alone:

-Turn 2. My static DOES NOT use the popular enrage method. Instead, we pass the rot along 5 healers and rpds, me being the 5th. When its time to go from #5 to #1, I use AE to cover that distance quickly.

-Titan EX. I was out of position on the first set of row bombs that dropped. After dodging landslide, I popped AE to slide to the right position as other team members were moving to a safe location. Granted, I shouldn't have been out of position to begin with, but AE helped me fix my own mistake.

-Garuda HM. To maximize my casts, I stayed put while the pt started to rotate with garuda and the feathers during the tornado phase. I used AE to catch up to the pt (and threw a fighterstarter proc down as soon as I ended the teleport. /flex)

-Wandering Palace. Used AE to get out of goobue sneeze.

In every instance, you could argue that AE wasn't necessary. And it isn't. But you could make the same argument that sprint isn't necessary for things like getting out of plumes. But while something isn't totally necessary, sometimes using it sure does help.
