Course i could be wrong so I'm gonna ask here, does anyone have the reason why they even added this limitation of AF to begin with? If i knew more about the reason i would probably be able to give a more detailed response to this situation. Sorry if its seems really off topic but it feels like this question probably belongs here rather than different discussions.
It was sparked by smn's having an opener that related to the party being held up til it was off cd. Then Yoshi decided it would just be easier and better in general if all core mechanics were started at the beginning of the fight. As for dissipation I have no clue what you're talking about. dissipation can't be used outside of combat either due to the fact it gives you max aether and the fairy has nothing to do with aetherflow outside aetherpact.
