Remove the Ruin IV proc and reduce Enkindle's cooldown, then remove the Aetherflow Lockouts. You'll get a lot less Bahamut windows (Since they come every three Aetherflow as opposed to every 2 beyond the opener), but that leaves room for the class to grow (and for their numbers to get adjusted to be fairer), and most importantly, get something to do outside of the Aetherflow/DWT window that isn't binary Ruin spam. Note that I'd expect that filler to involve the Ruin spell line in general. Hopefully not as combos, but through a resource you can plan around that lets you use Ruin III/IV outside of DWT in a limited but reliable fashion, while guaranteeing their use inside DWT. I could see SE adding traits to do that next expansion and simply upgrading Ruin I/II to Ruin III/IV during DWT/Bahamut at 70 and leaving it at that.

I also kinda hope they remove the Tri-Disaster reset as well. I don't mind managing SMN's dots at all under the new unified duration. It would balance them out too, letting them push Ruin III/IV more.
