What Dissipation should have been

something should be done around dissipation, not sure what but it really feels like not working as intended...
the only time I use it is during hands in AS2
maybe making the fairy recast instant after dissipation would make it more useful, that would make me use it way more often I think

emergency maintenance should also reduce the adlo/succor cast time because it does not feel like an "emergency skill" at all as it takes time to get the heal going
in exchange just increase the recast time of emergency maintenance

I say keep it how it is, but...
make it so we get 3 ADDITIONAL aether stacks seperate from aetherflow.

Honestly I just want to get my faerie back in a user friendly manner over hard casting assuming SC was used during the emergency/dps rotation extension from added stacks.....

Making it auto-switch faeries would be interesting and would get rid of dissipation's hidden 2k mana cost, but I don't think it's necessary. Dissipation saves my tanks almost every time I'm in A1S.

My group does not have a SCH. We're running AST and WHM.

See this is the thing. Any situation (beyond DPS) that you're using Dissipation is already kind of bad. Not having Swiftcast or even worse, having it on the CD puts you at a disadvantage. The synergy is bad with Dissipation and a lot of the Scholar's abilities. The 20% buff to healing isn't what "saves the day" it is the Aetherflow which let you cast Lustrate and/or Indominability. A Scholar's fairy is very important and getting rid of it, especially for what Dissipation offers in return, is really not worth it in the long run.

I am not saying Dissipation is useless. It's not. But it can be so much better without making the class OP. Even something as simple as the fairy coming back after the cast or being able to get them back quickly and ideally with little to no MP cost would allow the skill to see more use. I think fairy switching just adds a whole new dynamic to the class. You could plan out the skill's usage for certain phases and really use each fairy to their best potential.

I really like the idea of a fairy swap, I would completely fine with the ability if did the following:

-swaps out fairies and resets their cds*
-grants 3 aetherflow stacks

The +20% healing spell buff could be done away completely as it's useless as is.

edit: * that would probably OP now it think about it

This would be a god send for me.

Extra DPS? You mean Energy Drain? It's the only thing I can think of. I am sure it doesn't increase dmg potencies.. Maybe bane? It's really all I can think of, does this actually do something else for dps?

Both and it does. Energy drain is not in gcd.

Dissipation will only incease healing potency but ur dps will spike a little more from gaining xtra stacks while waiting for AF for 30+ seconds to burn more ED and banes within dps opener/priority rotations. Risky and I usually only do this for my opener of 9 EDs total weaved in or via dungeons when the timing is right so that SC and Fey Wind just come up when dissipation ends
