How SE Can Fix SCH

[OmegaSinX]

I'm assuming a big part of the aetherflow out of battle thing was to put an end to high end SCHs needing to wait on Aetherflow to come back off CD for the pull. Personally I've never felt it was a problem given it was only a minute however this is admittedly pure conjecture on my part given the lack of feedback from SE on matters like this.

I'm thinking the option of giving a SCH a full aetherflow stack on zoning or an encounter reset would probably be an easier middle ground for this, ensuring that SCH don't find themselves in an oGCD handicap at the start of an encounter. I'm sure we've all done it with the fairy in the past

I'm solo on the return of bane and honestly I wonder if there would be a better way to handle this. Shadowflare and ED are things to consider though, especially given that SF is kind of a foil to the newly buffed Sacred Soil.

For the fairy on the party list thing. I'd have thought a simpler option would be just to have pets simply teleport to you and auto heel when you run out of range of them?

I personally never asked others to wait for my Aetherflow to reset before a pull and I don't ever recall another SCH asking for this either. I simply adjusted. 3 stacks going in was more than enough and even if you had no stacks, you always had dissipation as a backup. While othere jobs have this problem its not as big of an issues WAR/SMN. WAR gets two charges of infuriate, and SMN "aetherflow (energy drain)" is on 30sec cool down. It isnt as bad since they use their charges for damage. SCHs could use their aetherflow preemptively (Excog/Sacred). Those little differences made huge impacts in some encounters.

It was primarily a savage thing. As you say, it wasn't ever really a consideration for dungeons, and rarely mentioned in Trials unless you're going with a static perhaps.

It's just an odd quirk and in my eyes it'll primarily cause problems for a particular niche aka non DPSing lower APM casuals in dungeons. Outside of that, it's not really much of a deal, as above states, with ED gone and Excog/Sacred Soil not being sustainable, SCHs are likely going to have charges to spare more often than not.

Also, your sig makes me chuckle every time, I love it <3
