So unnecessary shielding that gives you the illusion that you’re doing something of value. It’s kinda like giving a child a toy hammer and a separate plank of wood to make them feel like they’re helping.

But what do we do with the resources that use Aetherflow currently? Well, fortunately (or unfortunately) SCH already has a second gauge that has absolutely no uses of notable value currently and is basically just a decoration on your screen at the moment that we can just shift healing cooldowns onto.
