Dissipate overpowered?

[Sabeta]

Been a Scholar since 2.1, solo healed Garuda EX, Titan Ex, T4 all during the same patch. Since then I've cleared every difficult raid except FCoB and these last two raids. I'm military so when duty calls I have to put the game down. I did clear A3S back in 3.0 though, but I've yet to catch up to the gear required for Midas.

Though compared to A3S everything there looks painfully easy. I'm not expecting more than a month of progression. I keep Dissipation on my bar just in case the Fairy dies, and I guess if I cared about Logs ID use it at the end to pad my numbers.

My point is though, players who can farm content got there with a winning strategy. If you don't need dissipate to farm, it stands to reason you don't need it to progress.

This just isnt true though. Progression requires a far tighter usage of the entire healer toolkit. During progression you need to virus/disable those big hits when you arent well geared. Farming it really doesnt matter.

Take t13 ahk morns for example. Progression required scholar imput to heal tanks through it, farming required no scholar imput at all to deal with them.

There is a distinct difference in healing between progression based raiding and farming based raiding. Even sephirot ex when progressing required more imput from both healers than when farming it.
