    I don't know which SCHs you're playing with, but many SCHs consider ED to be a core ability for the better-than-free oGCD DPS it provides. Only in the most dire of situations should you actually need to reserve all 3 Aetherflow stacks for direct healing.

    Agreed.

    Every fight is scripted. All damage is scripted and predictable. If no one fucks up, you can plan your Aetherflow usage well in advance, which means you'll know when you need a lustrate, a sacred soil, or an indom. Almost always you are able to use at least one aetherflow stack on energy drain per minute. Many times more. Saving your stacks for "just in case emergency situations" is really not optimal- not for your MP or your potential dps output, because if nothing wrong happens (which it shouldn't), then you've wasted a whole lot of stacks/mp/dps for nothing.

    Scholars (good ones) use ED far more than you think.
