Change SCH Dissipation

[RyuDragnier]

Could Dissipation be buffed? Sure, I wouldn't mind. Make the 20% healing potency buff SCH's oGCDs too, I don't care. That would make it even more useful for Lustrates for pumping into people who get Natural Alignment or for spot healing during High Concept potentially. But skills having inherent tradeoffs isn't a bad thing. If you've exhausted your fairy heals or the 20% potency + full stack is more useful, use Dissipation. If not, use your other heals. Dissipation is a multifunctional tool just like Recitation, and people need to treat it like that. Why do we seriously have people arguing that the ability to have another on demand full stack of Aetherflow is somehow "hot trash" that could be removed with nothing lost? It absolutely would be a loss to Scholar, no matter what.

I wouldn't mind that for a buff, since then there'd be actual reason for using the skill other than for Aetherflow (because no, 20% increase on Adlo and Succor is not a good reason to use Dissipation, will never be).

If you need Dissipation for the heals right now, things have gotten really bad to where just the AF by itself isn't going to do anything for you. You're either recovering from a death, at which point the AF heals are already nerfed by the weakness to where they're not going to be as useful, or things are so out of control that you're being forced to spam Lustrate or throw everything out to save the run. You've lost your fairy for this, so best pray that you don't need any of her abilities (if they're up).

That's a really bad trade-off, always has been. WHMs would be screaming from the heavens if using Liturgy of the Bell locked them out of their other oGCD heals. ASTs would be screaming from the heavens if using Macrocosmos locked them out of their Aspected heals and Earthly Star. Sages would be screaming from the heavens if using Pneuma locked them out of oGCD heals. So why the hell is it okay for us to have this problem? Either we spread it to other people, or we get rid of the problem. They could give us 2 charges of the ability Aetherflow and it would serve the same purpose without locking us out of anything.
