Is Dissipation really that bad?

[paoweeotter]

This is what I'm looking for it's definitely not as useless as everyone seems to think it's

people love to exaggerate. also I posted a follow up in my recent post regarding the MP argument. just a tip for you since people here are set in their ways.

use dissipation with largesse and with deployed adlo. that's the optimal way to use it. even better when your fairy abilities are on CD.

if you are preparing for a raid wide Aoe mechanic, pre cast your fairy abilities so they are up before you dissipate. FEY covenant first for the 20% magic damage down buff and then fey illumination plus largesse THEN Dissipate.

Don't waste the three aether dissipate gives you. For this I suggest popping sacred soil and excog

"rotation" for incoming raid damage

sacred soil > excog to get rid of any aether
rouse plus whispering dawn
fey covenant
largess > fey ilumination
dissipate
adlo > deploy
estimated damage mitigated is 76,000 HP. if crit you mitigate 176,000 HP (given you have a 7000 HP adlo heal)

ALWAYS use 100% of your toolkit and find ways to make use of all your abilities to make the other healers job easier. that's the fun in being a SCH.

going through a Susano sword phase and seeing everyone's HP at full is fun

Exactly that's kinda the only thing keeping me as this class and that's it's "bulkiness" I get a thrill out of exhausting my abilities and then having my own backup generator to keep the party alive. Plus a lot of us just ignore the fact that WE ARE NOT MAIN HEALERS, we are planners with mitigation sitting pretty in the back seat. Our cohealer should very hopefully exist and be doing their jobs in whatever savage content we're in so dissipation should very much be a cool button to use and not something we're all fearful of is all.

WE ARE NOT MAIN HEALERS

That doesnt mean we dont have to heal and heal hard.

I feel this discussion doesnt go anywhere
