Anyone else feeling a hit to SCH?

Also, to add onto this. During the vids and information I have seen. I have not seen anything that allowed Aetherflow to give us more than 3 stacks. Most of us SCHs were expecting at least one more stack in Heavensward. Why aren't we getting more Stacks for SCH/SMN?

To be fair, the trait that has a chance to proc Aetherflow CD reduction addresses this somewhat. Having a flat 4th stack would probably be preferable, but at least they gave some thought to upgrading the mechanic with level.

10% chance to proc a reduction CD of Aetherflow is not my way of thinking they are making SCH better. Or anything else. When 10% is a lower chance than even trying to proc a Freecure on WHM. Giving us more stacks, would be the best way to go about this. It is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG over due.

According the tooltips shown in the media release, it's actually a 20% chance to reduce the CD on Aetherflow by 10 seconds each time you use an action that consumes stacks.

This isn't to say that it's necessarily going to be as nice as some of us would want it to be since it's still an RNG-dependent mechanic, but it has the potential to make a difference.
