Illium Frustration Saving Tweeks

As someone who has been enchanted by this class's aesthetic an mechanics I am frustrated at where it diverges unhelpfully in functionality from similar abilities in other classes. This will probably never be seen and considered by anyone relevant whatsoever. But here's my noise to the void as its on my my mind.

The problem lies in two skill issues: Wings of Glory and their interactions within their particular frameworks.

1. Wings of Glory as central final form-esqe dps bump should be more accessible. To that end it ought to be able to be saved at max charge for opportune time of activation like other classes similar skills. This is double relevant with the DPS skill of crystal ignition only allowed mobility by Wings of Glory. Additionally as a rather vulnerable class it seems like Wings ought to have an invincibility clause like Ark's Abyssal Recall.

2. Lucent Brand and Aegis are illium's primary defensive buff that also happens to be a damage buff but these stacks disappear too quickly. As in you practically have to be spamming Orb more than Javelin to keep it up an d even then with disappearing when struck, in dense maps you can scarcely keep this up. Couple that with the fact that the macro of Orb and Javelin doesn't work properly and you basically never reach max Lucent stack with macro only if you spam Orb on 2nd key, which seems to down attack speed a bit. Macro needs to function properly for this class's needs. Aegis should be more reliable defensively like a proper magic guard. And through that all Lucent Brand shouldn't be a slowing chore to stack and maintain for what is supposed to be a fast flowing class. (I mean the link skill is called Tide of Battle~!).
