Couldn't we work around that by simply deleting Energy Drain / Siphon, and just making Fester and Painflare oGCDs with charges? Because Aetherflow is just an old charge system somehow.It would take care of the rigid timer on Energy Drain, but keep the freedom of using Festers whenever you have time (and resources) to weave them, while making sure we don't lose uses.
Aetherflow can't be deleted right now as its a core mechanic of how SMN currently works. Yes i would like it to disappear, but until 6.x this isn't likely to happen. That is why i said just make it usable out of combat to give stacks, no waiting for it to cooldown, just cast it and go.
