LIVE Letter Regarding DRG & AST Postponed Reworks

[Deceptus]

Really, the only capstone ability of SCH's that needs an upgrade/rework is Fey Union,

Hard Disagree.

Dissipation is a dumpster fire of an ability.

1) It's supposed to be used in Emergencies when you're out of charges and need heals. Except it only affects healing SPELLS not all healing so it only affects 3 "spells": Physic, Adlo, Succor.. SCH is an ability based job. Dissipation has been trash since it was implemented and is proof positive that the developers lack any real understanding of how the job actually plays.

2) Dissipiation used as a DPS cooldown: Before it was worth something but since the nerfing of Energy Drain to 100 potency, even if you used every single charge on ED, you'd only get 1 extra broil's worth of potency every 3 minutes, or an average of 100 potency a minute gain. And this isn't of DPS damage. This of healer damage. Not exactly meaningful in the grand scheme of things. And in doing so, blowing all your AF stack on DPS you lose out on a massive amount of healing and utility.

3) Using Dissipation locks you out of all fairy abilities, as well as Fey Union gauge.

4) Dissipation goes against the entire Job Identity of Scholar. The Scholar and the Fairy are supposed to work as a team to support.

Like others have said, the capstone abilities actively fight each other. It's not a cohesive job.

The quick and easy solution should be:

Dissipation: Gives you 3 AF stacks and increases all healing(and possibly damage) by 20% for 30s. Keeps your fairy. Hell, lose the fairy if you the devs are hell bent on losing a core part of your job I guess. The increase to damage would make up for it.

Capstone abilities are supposed to be strong.
