Does anyone else feel like the mechanics of these spells are very clunky? I remember playing a mage in World of Warcraft and Blink was AMAZING.
I almost feel like Aetherial manipulation doesn't update your position as fast as running and consequently makes it a bad choice for escape telegraphs. Same with Elusive jump.
I haven't played around with Repelling shot much but I see lots of bards use it to escape telegraphs so maybe it's a bit more reliable.
The one legit use I've made of Aetherial manipulation is climbing back up Leviathan EX during slide making it easier and quicker to get into position. I feel like in a game with so many telegraphs, these abilities should be more widely used.
