Also Aetherflow mp returns are dependent on how much mp you have; you restore 20% of your max mp. It may not be the best fix, but it is the quickest and somewhat tiny fix that kinda matters at this point, and it doesn't affect the SCH counterpart. I don't want to see a SCH buff/nerf coming into effect just because of how many issues a SMN have.

I play both SMN (main character) and SCH (alt character). A change to both Aetherflow and Energy Drain that you're suggesting right now would make it so SCH's have no mp issues whatsoever and can up their dps potential as a healer. Basically, they can use more of their stacks to Lustrate and use Sacred Soil. Really good SCH (with reliable WHM) could probably be in Cleric Stance for like 40%-60% in high-end fights. Right now SCH is at a good position for being a healer and has decent dps to help out with pushing. They can even get more dps than a tank, depending on the fights.
