Quickened Aetherflow is going to be awful

[MsTanya]

Quick Aether just slashing aetherflow cooldown in half would have been a better choice overall. Promoted more synergy with our lvl70 ability, kept aetherflow the same as it is now in % restoration which in turn frees up a slot of our cross role action bar since lucid wouldn't be as big of a need, bolstered single target dps in downtime or helped us bolster our co healers dps with more healing options and output through extra flow stacks. This would also have set us further apart from summoners and given us our own unique mechanic. As it stands is it a buff? Sure very minutely. If you take into consideration the nerf to its refresh though its still not on par to what it is now.

Finally some sense. Even 15 seconds would have been better. Hell, even a flat 10 seconds off would be better than how it is now.

Just adding one aetherflow stack instantly would have been even better. At least then it's just a free energy drain. Anything to do with healers and cooldown reduction goes against a game where encounters are almost all scripted.

Yep. A fourth stack or a flat reduction in CD would have been much better.
