Emergency Tactics animation and/or recast time is too long

[Cynfael]

I don't really have any issues with ET; the recast is fine, and the animation isn't as long as it appears. You can almost start casting as soon as you use it, similar to Switfcast. The CD is fine, because it's not supposed to be a "stance", it's an "emergency" button.

Agreed. There is nothing wrong with this ability. It serves its purpose by allowing SCHs to occasionally (read: at least as frequently as is actually necessary) pump out a large HP heal without spending an Aetherflow stack. Making it any more useful than it is risks stepping on WHM toes that are already tender from getting stepped on with the removal of Graniteskin and the sharing of the Proshell effect.
