Summoner and the upcoming changes

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

I heard that the japanese tooltip for bane is actually the same as the current, which if true would mean that bane was actually not nerfed at all. Anyone can confirm that ? And yeah there seems to be a lot of misinformation out there right now, so people really need to reserve judgment until 16th.

This, they could always bump up the potency on III's to 45 or even 50 closing the gap. Nothing is in stone yet.

There are so many threads on this I don't know where to post.

Anywho. While I'm willing to wait and see how most of the changes affect summoner as it compares to the other jobs, is anyone else concerned about one of the more punishing changes that came about from the new UI design?

もうひとつ、立ち回りに影響が出そうな変更としては、エーテルフローの挙動だ。4.0からはエーテルフローとバハムートエーテルがひとつのUIで管理されるため、たとえばミアズマバーストやベインの“効果なし”によってバハムートエーテルが2までしか溜まらなかった場合、エーテルフローを使っても回復するのは1枠ぶんということになる。いわゆるエーテルフローの“空振り”のリスクが少し増えている。

Taken from the recent Famitsu article talking about changes to summoner.

According to this, because both aetherflow and aethertrail are managed with the same UI widget, if for any reason a player whiffs bane or fester and only gains two aethertrail stacks, using aetherflow again will only grant the player one stack of aetherflow instead of three.

This is true. Aethertrail now takes the spot of an Aetherflow stack. Missing an Aetherflow skill is now more punishing than ever before. You can also use Aetherflow with 3 Aethertrail stacks, and it will give you nothing but the MP recovery and go on CD (Aetherflow is only locked from being used in DWT).
