Disrespectful and Dismissive.

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?



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.

It's more of a personal management thing, yes, but lucid has been made so strong, just use it every 60 seconds and that's it, you dont need to be babied on others for mana anymore because of that change, if anything it has become easier, because now you dont need a BRD just for the refresh, you dont need a mage just for the mana shift, you arent screwed without them, and you arent dependent on them, making it much easier and more forgiving, because even if you screw up, its not on nearly as long of a CD. If you died right after using lucid in SB, manashift only got you so far and you had 2 minutes until lucid was up, now you have 60 seconds.

Why you dont want those abilities, I couldn't tell you, because the only one you have put any justification I could possibly understand is miasma II, because it did genuinely not make sense for a dot to be your only AoE option, which is why I say AoW wouldve been a great compliment to it, but not a good replacement. The other ones though? You dumb them down to their simplest possible explanation "it's a button you press every x seconds" you can make anything sound insignificant if you dumb it down that far.

And I hardly agree they were OP because the abilities themselves were not OP, especially now after fairy got nerfed to high heaven. Even if it was OP not having them ties to the GCD or oGCD, it doesnt change it *felt* so much better to use, even if, as you put it, it didnt require much thinking (which I will disagree with, but you have every right to your opinion) because SCH has so many oGCD abilities, it was so relieving to have SOMETHING I didnt have to weave in, to have something I could just do. Having them be oGCD does not require more thinking, it just makes it more annoying because now I have to sacrifice a broil for it and use a ruin II.
