Playing BLM at lvl 50 in ARR was the same situation: casting so much fire the astral fire timer just never ran out, then umbral, clean, repeat. Blm is still more interesting than that old rotation. Lore wise I like to think wol has outgrown the need for a timer to able to handle astral/umbral phases. Getting rid of it so suddenly is disregulating but I'm one of those folks who doesn't mind. My biggest hope was at least some kind of sound indicator for the timers you can elect to use, I'm indifferent overall on the removal.
