    I'm sorry that you think everyone who doesn't agree with you is a whiner.
    I agree on that point. It is a terrible ability. I disagree with notion of using it "as intended," but I am and so are other endgame SCH. I am hard pressed to call it a mistake or useless other wise, spite the detrimental dismissal of our fairies and flaws that takes an unnecessary long time to learn how to work around, which is currently relying on your party... Which isn't a stretch since we should already be doing so.

    Dissipation gives aetherflow stacks. That's all it needs to do honestly, good in a pinch.

    Synastry buffs healing by 20%, Marks a party member to receive 40% of all your heals and therefore is healed an additional 40% when you single target heal them and has a cool down of 90 seconds. .-.

    They said they had to hold on Dissipation power because it could be too strong. And now we have this synasty and Aspected Benefic on nocturnal now shield more than non-crit Adlos with lot less mana. AST was buffed more than it deserved, maybe if we keep crying Dissipation will get useful.

    In all honesty i have used dissipation but never successfully, but it is something better suited if you are extremely good at sch healing and you know how exactly to set up your heals/mitigation fast and effectively when shit hits the fan. If you don't time it right it is a useless skill, if you use the skill as you please and cannot resume normal healing/mp management compared to before your farire was summoned you eventually cripple your teams efforts.

    Also when i mean set up your heals means you are fully aware of your cooldowns and can string it to the best of your abilities, even if you can type stuff like rouse + fey illumi + WD + dissi + emergency and aldo/succor or whatever, the question is can you actually do it in practice when all things fall apart? I doubt many of us can and since most of us can't, realizing the full potential of the ability is really something we probably can't grasp yet until we do.

    That sounds way too complicated and impossible to pull off in a real situation. Also a ton of mana wasted when I can just keep the fairy up and Rouse + Whispering Dawn.

    A roused fairy can heal like a second healer. NOT WORTH IT.

    The fact it sounds impossible and when you try it in practice it takes about 5 to a good 10 seconds to prepare which means you as a player have to be extremely perceptive, but that is how dissipation is amazing.

    In one instant I try to imagine dissipation more as a sch's way of becoming a team tank, just imagine how you mitigate big hits with your defensive cooldowns and off cooldowns that you weave in as a tank. It is sort of the same thing but the boost in "healing power" makes our mitigation for this one hit (probably raid wipe) really strong and may just grant everyone a silver of health so we can live through our mistake. Even as a tank if you use all your cooldowns in one fell sweep, you are probably going to be so naked after that and if another big hit comes straight after, you die. So in a way it works the same way but we need have a 30 seconds window to make our cooldowns work for us.

    Another is when you just need to top up people and the benefit comes in from the aetherflow stacks, in about 30 seconds we become a semi whm who can top up people instead of focusing on mitigating at a great cost of mana.

    Heck it can also be used as a raid defensive cooldown for a raid wide aoe or a damage that the party simply doesn't have the health to take for that one hit alone.

    And there would be many more types of situations to use it. The fact we call it situational is because we can't imagine ourselves using it in any situations except when things mess up, but honestly when things mess up we probably get too caught up trying to solve it using our 2.0 methods and other new skills that we forget to practice using dissipation itself as a form of recovery.

    There is no situation that requires such preparation and no content that requires that amount of vast healing. The sacrifice to overall HOT isn't worth it. It is a foolish move.

    If the boss is going to die in 10 seconds, maybe. However its not worth the loss of HPS and mana you burn attempting it.

    Your worse off unless the fight is about to end.

    Dissipation is useless , there should not even be an argument about it.
