    Dissipation is not a step backward. It brings in a meaningful choice. Do you wait for Aetherflow or do you say goodbye to your fairy for opportunity to use three abilities immediately with a power boost? This is more engaging than using your healing abilities by rote.
    I don't know how many times this has to be explained:

    DISSIPATION DOES NOT AFFECT ABILITIES. It only affects spells. Physic, Adloquium, Succor. That's it. Those are the ONLY spells it affects.

    Those 3 extra stacks of Aetherflow you get when you lose your fairy for 30s? Dissipate will affect zero of the abilities that aetherflow consumes.

    3 actions out of a total of 11 healing actions are affected by Dissipate, of those three you might only use one (Adlo). And you lose your fairy to do it.

    That is why Dissipate is extremely underwhelming

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
