I see this argument’s back again. If it really concerns you then start using Dissipation on cooldown for those gains. Energy Drain has its place and removing it even with the MP shifted onto Aetherflow itself will only make Scholar worse (ie. less fun) to play. Let it be and get your priorities straight. You use it to heal if you have to because 100 potency is worth preventing death. Even a half asleep auto-attacking Dancer with double weakness will beat out 100 potency. A single GCD from anybody does. It is your reward for healing WELL with your entire toolkit, not the default option for Aetherflow stacks. Your own framing is the problem here. Personally I think having to spam a filler heal for MP on Sage is an objectively worse design because it encourages bad habits and inflates Sage’s healing contributions on easy fights which screws SE’s metrics. Energy Drain straight up tells the developers “We don’t need this much healing” and we need more healer resources that tell them that.
