    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.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    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.

    and increases all healing by 20%,
    That's not nothing.

    It's nothing because it accomplishes nothing. Dissipation is used as a roundabout DPS CD for more Energy Drain usage and as a buffer for Addlo for Deployment Cheese. Making it boost all healing doesn't change anything fundamentally about the skill because the majority of skills that you'd want to use Aetherflow on would typically be on CD at that point that you can't even benefit from the boosted healing on anything but Addlo/Succor anyways and already get boosted by Dissipation as is.

    So again, it does nothing.

    You're reading comprehension is . . . well terrible.

    I said all healing, not healing magic potency which would buff all healing (lustrate, indom etc etc) which could allow for it to be used in non emergency situations (all CD's gone), I also said the fairy shouldn't be removed so you'd have the added healing along without losing the fairy.

    Basically your whole rant is just further proves the point that Dissipation is largely worthless outside of Deployment Cheese, which in an of it self is extremely unbalanced. If it weren't for that single solitary, massively strong, fringe circumstance it would be hands down one of the worst capstone abilities (and still is in it's current state IMHO).
