Doesn't regen all that much less, again, it's nothing more than, as you put it, a management button, but it seems it's okay for lucid, but not for anything else.
The reason it is more punishing is because it is purely a personal responsibility now. If you do not use it correctly, there are no bailouts in the form of Mana Shift and Refresh coming your way.

It is a management button. Literally a MP management button. I see what you're trying to do, but I'm just gonna ask directly. What's your point?

It's because you're lumping everything together and you're telling me what I'm arguing about things neither of us have even brought up before. I said literally nothing about two distinct fairies. I said it would be nice to have back Enhanced Aetherflow. It feels like you're not even paying attention to my posts.

So let me just ask you this... From what I said so far, what do you think my problem is with these DPS skills (Miasma, Miasma II, Shadowflare, Bane)? Why do you think I do not want them back?

Not even to mention the amount of times I want her to use both abilities now, with her straight up bugging out and putting one of them on CD without actually using the ability. That never seemed to happen with the old system, but then I suppose fairy actually using her abilities was OP.
Fine, I'll call it multitasking if you're so attached to that term, it makes no difference to me. My point about this is that the way fairy skills worked before was OP, that it's healthy for balance and that now they require more thought to use on your part.
