Using all stacks of Aetherflow when no apparent healing is a trade. More so, if we factor in Dissipation. In fact, one can argue that instead of normal Aetherflow stacks that Dissipation gives, it will be Empowered Aetherflow Stacks where all actions done using those will either have extra effects or a flat out better potencies.

I agree they should probably buff ED, people were willing to “chad” their co healer for ED in ShB when it was a measly 10 potency gain over just spamming broil, it’s obvious that as long as ED is a gain (which it should be because of how AF works) people will use it, so they may as well make it a satisfying button to actually press given it’s tradeoffs

I’ve noticed that the recent EX have the some of the larger damage is spaced out 3-4 min so that Dissipation can be used in conjunction with the other big buffs for the fat shield.

The damage profile after that is low that ogcds can handle it.

If anything, they should just change how long Eos is gone from 30 sec down to 15 sec while still keeping the 30 sec healing potency boost.

I think Dissipation is a great skill and works in the design direction of the “Big Shield Tactical Deploy”, the dungeon extra Lustrated, and the ShB extra dps.

It’s an amazing versatile skill.

(Also let us gain fairy gauge while Eos is dissipated.)
