But if the mechanic can be handled with a single aetherflow skill as opposed to a single Lily then it ends up being more efficient then the Lily because if you dont spend the 3 lillies and use Misery then the lillies do become 300 potency losses. Using a Lily without using 2 more and Misery is a larger loss then spending an energy Drain on a single skill. Misery is an all or nothing skill by nature.

The scholar may be loosing damage by weaving and spending a stack but if it saves the cohealer from gcd healing then the loss is compensated for. Two healers optimizing their cooldowns to allow both to dps will always be better then one healer 100% dpsing and the other handling all the healing.
