Aetherfolow Not always Working on SCH?

[Cousinjimmy]

Happened to me a couple of times, I suppose just don't chain instant cast/abilities with it and it'll be alright.

Usually it happens in Coil....

It seems to have been happening to me at an increase lately, out of nowhere. I have also noticed, that if skills are linked together too closely in succession, one of the skills will not complete, as the animation has not been completed/triggered properly yet. This happens to me all the time when I cast Bio after Miasma, if I don't give it that half second breath of room.

Pretty sure it's not an accuracy issue, but who knows. Maybe this hotfix played with stats a bit on the monsters. Not sure why Aetherflow would be missing though, seem's pretty preposterous to me.

It happens when you cast Aetherflow too fast right after Energy Drain, I think. Happened a few times in Binding Coil, had to get bard to mana song -_-

This.

Let's say you use Energy Drain. It's got a tad delay on it to check if it hits before it applies its effects. So you use it, it remembers you have one aetherflow stack, and when it executes, it will give you your MP and HP and set your Aetherflow to zero stacks.

Now, using Aetherflow itself is immediate, it sets your Aetherflow stacks to 3, as well as the MP gain.

However, what happens if you pop Aetherflow in the middle of the Energy Drain attack? Well, you start the drain, it remembers you have one stack, aetherflow executes giving you 3 stacks, and then the drain finishes and sets you to zero stacks [the one minus one].

So the way to avoid it is very simple--don't use Aetherflow until Energy Drain has completed.

This actually makes sense. It is possible that I use Aetherflow too soon. Thanks

this has happened to me too. Quite annoying, luckily its only when im DPSings in things such as CM and Praet. So it prolly is from using it after energy drain to quickly.

Best info ever. And I can see where this would happen to me as I often burn off charges with drain before using flow.

Not really about Aetherflow, but I'm wondering if this is what happens with my fairy sometimes. I have her on steady and when I use one of her spells(usually whispering dawn) then immediately put her back on steady it doesn't look like she casts the spell, or at least I never see it on anyone in the party :/.

[Cherub]

Happened to me several times now. Also happened on my BLM with raging strikes. Strange is that it gave me MP but no 3 stacks of Aetherflow.
Hella annoying, I hope they patch this as fast as possible.
