I'm disappointed that SE is clearly ignoring the Adloquium potency problem, which is arguably the largest flaw, by far, of the entire scholar toolkit.

if they made aetherflow a 30s cd, the mp cost on adlo wouldn't be as big of an issue, but the potency problem would still remain. if they double the shield (make it 2.0) for non-crits as well as crits, then it would be more in line with astro shields.

For those wondering, the potency difference between non-crit shieds:
Astro has 575 potency shield, while scholars have a 300 potency shield.

For crit shields:
Astro has 862 potency, to the scholar's 900.

so, for 25% more mp, and a full gcd to cast it, you too, can have a 20% chance to get 37.5 higher potency than the star healer.
