    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
    Plus Dissipation locks you out of using 1/3 of your kit with the Faerie skills. Dissipation, Fey Union, and Seraph all lock the other skill out of use, an issue AST and WHM do not have. Hopefully 6.0 will finally fix Dissipation. I still say it should become a burst aoe attack that also applies a shield to all party members.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    I love Dissipation and how Scholar has an actual healing rotation. The fact Dissipation only works on spells and removes the fairy told me I should only be using Dissipation if I don't need my fairy. I should be using Fey Union if I don't need Seraph. It creates this interesting script because everything fits together effectively. WHM and Astro can literally combo everything they have all at once and its bit overwhelming when every skill does the same thing and can be used together. How much is too much. No one is gonna complain if you use Tenperance, Asylum, and Plenary Indulgence to press cure Cure 3 once but its most likely a waste and a ton of overhealing for the average raidwide. Scholar forces you to space apart your tools so there is always something available. When you do it right and the puzzle pieces fit together over a dungeon or trial right on time its incredibly rewarding to me. I hope they leave Dissipation as it is. Whispering Dawn, Fey Illumination, Fey Union, and Seraph are not difficult to use outside of the tiny Dissipation Window. Removing Dissipation would ruin a lot of what I enjoy about the class. Its a tactical healer and strong abilities that demand their own solo time to shine is what makes Scholar Tactical.
