Scholar Aetherflow Issues

[EaMett]

They could easily solve that problem by just making you spawn in with 3 aetherflow stacks. Or they could do what they did with ninja, and give us an out-of-combat only skill that refreshes aetherflow's cooldown. There are a lot of options they have, and making aetherflow combat only just seems like the worst out of all of the possible fixes they could choose. But anyways, the real reason why combat only aetherflow is so annoying is because many times I've actually wanted things to die a few seconds slower, just so I can put aetherflow on cd before the next pull. The way it works right now is such bad design. Having to use dissipation to replenish stacks when things die too quick does work, but using that skill as a band-aid to cover up SE's poorly designed aetherflow never feels good....

Again, why do you need to wait? what good does having excog on your tank before the pull do? You have a lot of time to weave it into what is essentially 90% instant casts. Also, like I said in every post I made here. Use dissipation to prepare your stacks for the next pull, no need to slow down your pack dps. You'll have 3 stacks, your fairy will be back when it matters the most and you'll have AF off cooldown

Edit: Sorry clearly missed the second half there. My response to that is that dissipation isn't a patch up. The system doesn't need one because again you have plenty of time to get AF up while the tank pulls. And if we're talking excog, again you have a full galvanize and about 50k HP on your tank before it is even needed. Your skills are mostly Bio and AoW both of which allow for weaving so it's not a problem. Addlo > AF > Excog > Bio is barely different from doing Addlo > Bio > AF > Excog......
Dissipation is extra ressources for ogcd healing and in this case also solves the issue you currently seem to have with AF.
