Change SCH Dissipation

[RyuDragnier]

They'll probably try to see SCH functions terribly without it and return it in the following patch cycle as was the case the last 2 times.

Difference is both other times Energy Drain restored MP. It no longer does (that was changed this expansion), so they'll likely remove it and not give it back again, forcing us to have to spam Lustrate to remove unused AF stacks. Or I dunno, they could do something actually amazing and restore an extra 500 MP for each AF stack NOT used when they're refreshed? I don't think people would care about overcapping if it worked like that (plus extra MP restoration is always nice).

Yeah but then you're also looking at the negative impact it has on the rest of SCH's toolkit.
Dissipation becomes functionally worthless and Aetherpact takes even longer to fill if you're not overhealing with Lustrate, and if you are, chances are you won't need the heal from Aetherpact to start with.

SCH would need a rework for them to effectively remove Energy Drain but I doubt SE can be bothered to rework any healer not named AST.

No they wouldn't.

Decouple Energy Drain from Aetherflow
Make it an exact copy of Sage's Phlegma, rename it Outburst a spell arcanists used to have at lvl 26. Which coincidentally is when Sages get Phlegma.

It's almost like they ripped off an old Arcanist spell and gave it to Sage.

Yes it would be more homogenization but it would function better than it does currently.

Now address the issues with Dissipation and Aetherpact.

Dissipation gives 1-3 charges of Aetherflow (balance according with the CD) and increases all healing by 20%, or simply give 20% increased healing. Doesn't remove fairy.

Rename to Rouse.

And with nothing but Lustrate to burn those extra stacks on, it accomplishes nothing.

Now you're just being contentious for the sake of it.

That's not nothing.
