Really screams confidence in developer decisions when they don't even understand why and how players utilize the tools a job gives them. How were Miasma, Miasma II, Shadowflare and Bane preventing SCH from healing, but the button that kills SCH's fairy for 30 seconds is still in the game?



They also made Aetherflow only usable in combat despite removing Energy Drain, which eliminated the point of having to wait 60s to get 3 more stacks to dump in your opener... I really don't get it, but we're healers, expecting anything is a bad decision on our parts I guess.
They wanted SCH to use AF stacks on healing actions, so thet removed Energy Drain completely, only to give it back after a ton of backlash. ED is the Aethetflow dump, and is absolutely needed to manage AF waste and MP.

Yet, rather than remove the damage the ability does, which makes it a DPS gain and thus actively punishes you for using AF to heal, in EW they removed the MP refund part.

So now, you still get punished for not using an ability they intended as a AF dump.

I really don't understand what they were trying to do.
