Change SCH Dissipation

[Renathras]

it was the brilliant strategic manoeuvring of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerors time and again

"These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies."

You can't take one part out that says what you want and ignore the rest. The word strategic doesn't include eat your allies for power.

You're also (largely) quoting from the Arcanist class quests, not the SCHOLAR ONES. Arcanist evolves into Summoner, not SCH (they have different color icons), but even so, neither Summoner nor Scholar are Arcanists.

And would you like me to go through every SCH quest pointing out where Lily is mentioned and you working with her is pointed out in some way? Obviously, I could do so if you want to, but do I really need to?

Why shouldn't I recommend the job you're trying to turn scholar into when it clearly already exists?

Okay, I'll bite:

How does removing Dissipation turn SCH into SGE?

Does removing Dissipation cause Broil, Biolysis, Art of War, Ruin 2, and Energy Drain to heal your Kardia target? Do you even have Kardia on SCH...? I didn't think you did, but you're saying it'd be just like SGE without Dissipation, so that must mean when you get on SCH, you use Kardia on your tank, right?

Does removing Dissipation make your broken Adlo shields generate a charge of a damaging attack that does the same damage as a single Broil largely used as a movement tool but can be used for a ridiculously minor DPS gain on trash packs?

Does spending Aetherflow give you 7% MP back?

Do you have a collection of Aetherflow spenders that allow you to maintain 45 out of 60 seconds of 10% mitigation of a target of your choosing without blowing any of your non-AF "real" CDs?

I forget, did SCH get a gap closer that you can target on any ally or enemy for a lot of movement advantages?

Can SCH cast Barriers on party members while moving without blowing Swiftcast or a long CD?

Which SCH ability applies a refreshing Barrier on the whole party with 5 charges that protect against 5 attacks and provide a heal on the end for any unused barrier stacks?

Which SCH ability applies a refreshing Barrier on a single taret with 5 charges that protect against 5 attacks and provide a heal on the end for any unused barrier stacks?

Which SCH ability allows consuming of existing shields on party members to provide a burst heal?

What's the name of the SCH ability that boosts the amount of healing their Tank receives via their Kardia whenever they cast Broil?

Does removing Dissipation arm SCH's with nouliths and turn their attack animations into lasers?

Which SCH ability does a GCD's worth of damage to the enemy while popping a big heal on the party?

Does removing Dissipation make Ruin 2 a damage gain over Broil that's also AOE but requires near-melee range to use?

Does removing Dissipation remove Energy Drain and the interplay between providing extra healing and mitigation or choosing to do damage for a bit of optimization if your CDs and healing plan are managed well?

Does removing Dissipation rob SCH of the ability to remotely heal by placing their healing pet? (Ironically; USING Dissipation is what does THAT...)

...

SGE is superficially like SCH, but they are far from identical. Memes are good fun until people start to think they're accurate reflections of reality.

They could probably just make Dissipation remove fairy gauge like Fey Union, but make the fairy pulse fey blessing (a far less version) every tick, and giving an AF stack every 3 ticks (30 gauge used). Like an embrace that hits the entire party, but they can't do anything else while it's being used, unless you toggle it off. That at least gives another use for the fairy gauge and Dissipation is a lot better for use, while still allowing its capabilities to give AF. It also makes it more of a tactical decision that still locks you out of fairy moves, but only until you toggle it off or you run out of gauge.

Honestly, that's a better idea. Still anti-synergy, but at least it isn't anti-Job lore at the same time and does something useful as a bonus.
