Honestly... why?

It effectively just punishes you further for downtime or holding charges for rapid burst, the latter of which is the only unique affordance Aetherflow-as-an-active-ability has to warrant what would otherwise be button bloat (by essentially giving you a cap of 6 charges, up from SGE's 3).

By turning AF into an effectively 45s CD via 5s CDR per AF action, it's that much harder to align / find use for what so often amounts to excessive healing even among just your free kit.


If there was more to heal and more, besides just that trait, that made you want to look at and work around AF's CD (much like Stormblood Warrior with Enhanced Infuriate and a very low potency-per-gauge-efficiency loss on Onslaught), I could see the logic to it, but among modern healers and encounters?
