Dissipate overpowered?

[KarstenS]

You sacrifice the fairy, which is 30% of your healing

You mean single target healing.

Currently I'm thinking about using it in A6 Savage at the second boss during the "three big balls do massive AOE damage" part, right after I popped the last buff of the fairy.

I think it could make surviving this situation a little bit easier.

It is an very situational use. Yes. But remember: the new scholar abilities were announced as such back in the live letters.

I like to use it in combination with a warrior tank, in defiance, with convalescence, a mantra, fey illumination, and dissipation. Then, I spam adlo on the warrior to fish for a crit. On fights like thordan or sephirot for example, when the boss has a massive aoe at a phase change, (especially with enough time to squeeze 5-6 casts to prep for it), I can fish for a 10k or 11k adlo crit on that warrior, and then share it to the entire party with deployment tactics to give everyone a 20k+ galvanize to completely negate the attack.

Its almost always overkill, but its highly entertaining, so I enjoy it.

If I had a 20% potency buff to both healing and offensive skill with Dissipation since the 3.0 I would have probably used it a lot, but I don't think it wolded be overpowered anyway, take in consideration that WAR has a 50% damage buff and the PLD if I'm not wrong a +30%, basically because they are not a DPS class, and also those buff has an all way shorter recast time than Dissipation.

Also I wonder, if there was a +20% on offensive magics too, as lustrate and indimitability are not affected by it because they aren't magicks but "skills", Energy drain woudn't be affected too?
(Just a theoric question, I'm not asking for implementing it even if I would enjoy it xD)

Well yes and no. I think this is mostly a bug that lustrate and indom' aren't affected ( even tho they seem to be considered differently as the others skills, because they ain't concerned about the silence, for ex.)
But yeah some dps boost by that would give a better use of dissipate

I still say Dissipate should be the Scholar version of Enkindle. Eos could provide a nice AoE heal and Selene a massive shield maybe. Something to make it feel worthwhile.

Hey excellent idea there :0

Talking about Selene, i'd love to remove her silence skill for a little DoT, which would be more useful. But this isn't the subject !

It's been confirmed to be like that by design. Why dps abilities are affected by dps buffs, but healer abilities are not affected by healing buffs is beyond me. xD

Answer was : physick, adlo and succor are healing spells affected by healing buff ; lustrate, indo are healing abilities and aren't affected (or vice-versa maybe).
Point is, they're viewed differently by SE so they have a justification to not buff it.

Up. Want the this post to be read enough to be taken seriously by dev's.

Would be cool if the spell could increase healing on yourself or on people with the death debuff
something like that would be cool..

[Arduno]

Would be awesome if the ability could make the next ress a insta cast while also making that next rezz cost zero mana

Fearie rezz!
Would be a lott like Scacred Soil!
:O

Interesting how many people just don't want to acknowledge how much additional damage a SCH doing an Energy Drain after your Bio's can do with Dissipation.

In my mind, there is hardly a defensive/healing use for it. Strictly offensive.
