the mp recovery from aetherflow isnt even enough for one adlo

[NorthernLadMSP]

The only change I agree with is for them to lower the MP cost of Adlo and Succor a tad. But, yes fairy heals are free so don't play it off like they aren't. Aetherflow heals are MP free (yes they do have a stack cost).

We can agree to disagree on that. You are right that they are free in the sense that they cost nothing to the caster. But they are not free in the sense that our other heals are comparatively weaker with higher mana costs to compensate for it. Trust me if it was truly "free" then where is my physic II, instant cast aldo, stronger succor, and the list goes on and on. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should have these things, but also don't sit there and say we don't pay a price for fairy and atherflow heals, because we do.

Well, here are my final thoughts on the matter.

I can see SE lowering the cost of Adlo and Succor because, while I don't have MP issues on SCH, they are very expensive compared to the other two healers.

However, for the people (not you, but in general) wanting the 20% back on Aetherflow - don't see it happening. They have already changed the cross role functions so that all casters and healers have access to Lucid. So, I would almost guarantee the 10% is here to stay. I also don't see them buffing the fairy heals back up to what they were back in ARR or HW.

But physick isn't higher mana cost, like I mentioned 2 physick = 800 potency for 1200 MP, 1 lustrate is 600 potency for 1200 MP.

If you want to say they destroyed SCH identity by making physick the most attractive and unexpensive heal on a healer that is supposed to be shield based, then fully agreed, the cost of adlo should be lowered, but using aetherflow heals should be restricted to when you NEED to if there's risk of running out of MP, or whenever you want to if there's no OOM risk.

If aetherflow is off cd and you still have stacks, spend them on ED and put it on cd, keep aetherflow always on cd. The only times I've been OOM is when I die and LD is on cooldown.

Galvanize is also no longer overwritten, so you actually waste adloqium/succor if the shield has not fallen off. Likewise with AST's Nocturnal Sect shields. So in a sense they made it so that people need to stop spamming things just because they're there and use them more strategically.
