I admit to not being a particularly good Summoner, but... I'm not quite following the logic in this particular update. Why is a class being permitted to strip SMN of Aetherflow... isn't that basic functionality? Not playing a BLM, I'm not sure: are other classes able to dispel Astral Fires? As regards the use of Aetherflow, we usually need to lay down DoT's before we unload... that takes a long time to do in a fight. Oftentimes you don't survive long enough to get through the whole process.

So, I guess my question is, what was I doing wrong? Going on the assumption that something was unbalanced for them to put in a fix... what's the right way to play Summoner to take advantage of whatever it is they're fixing?
