Dissipate overpowered?

Even after she dissipated I'm still trying to micromanage embrace. xD Its 30 seconds. You can burn swiftcast just before the buff falls off and bam she's back. Its extra utility in the form of aetherflow. 10/10 would recommend.

I'd say that comes from how much the community at large seems to agree that you should micro-manage her to get any mileage out of her. After all that practice you went through to learn how to do that... it does seem like a bit like cutting off the best part of the job.

As I mentioned there are parts of raids where embrace spam isn't needed at all and/or the main healer can do such lifting with their own regens. We are only locked from fairy recast for 30 seconds. You make it sound like it's minutes.

Another strategic reason to use Dissipate is if you are anticipating a fairy swap, instead of just blowing the Swiftcast for an immediate summon, I can get some instant stacks to blow for damage and getting back to full MP, while a phase transition occurs.

Extra utility, better shields, possible method to DPS and get to near/full MP instantly. 10/10.

You know where I like Dissipate outside of savage in current content? Seph Ex adds phase because the upside is very high. I can flow some energy drains to help some DPS and get back to full MP because of all the DPS in the first phase. Plus also having stronger heal/shields for two sets of big add kills, which also mess means less healing of that damage. Total win-win, and I'll have fairy swift before his ultimate.

Instead we get people who think this skill is just useless because they can't even figure out how to get full benefit from it.

Your post is very constructive and helpful, but the above statement is completely unnecessary. Nothing bad about having different opinions about stuff and sharing our thoughts.
I still think dissipation is way too situational, but it's good people are finding utility out of it, I know I have a hard time doing so.

Well, that wasn't what I meant. I'm having a bit of trouble explaining my reasoning, but one of the defining characteristics of Scholar is the fairy, and there's no similar skills between you and either fairy besides embrace.

So you can explain to me why it's good, but it doesn't change that it feels like you're trading some of the utility of bringing scholar, for a higher healing output that you have to pay back in MP and swiftcast.

Can it work? I don't know. But I can see why there's differing opinions over whether the skill is any good or not.
