Thoughts on 5.0 SCH (so far)

[Enla]

I have to disagree with the mana comments. SCH mana issues are only in dungeons because of AoW. In trials so far I have so much mana I don't know what to do with it. Recovering from death isn't that hard either since all our heals are mana free and lucid is on a 60s cooldown.

After doing more Extremes I would have to agree with this. I'm rarely out of mana in either Titania or Innocence, but constantly bleeding the stuff in dungeons and Fates/Overworld content and the later is often without AoW spam. I still very much think giving us back Energy Drain (sans damage) for those second situations would go a long way to fixing the MP issues we face there, but if Savage turns out to be anything like the Trials thus far SCH is in an okay place MP wise.

I disagree.

1.) Not everybody does savage. I'd wager less than 10% of the playerbase.

2.) Even among those of us who DO, we're still not doing ONLY savage. I'd wager less than 10% of the time (outside of circumstances such as, say, release week for HC and sHC groups).

Hence why I made the point of saying in Dungeons/Overworld content there's still issues that need to be fixed and that we need Energy Drain for that kind of stuff. My point was that in terms of higher end content we seem to be fine. Not that because we're fine there there isn't massive room for improvement in other areas.

Not really Energy Drain, but a way to dump the stacks into the Fairy Gauge. I'm still a fan of the idea of using Aetherflow again while you still have stacks throws the replaced ones into the fairy gauge, since that gives us a consistent dump for dungeons and rewards us for performing well (plus then it kinda synergizes with Dissipation).
