    Emergency Tactics should include instant cast

    At level 60 Scholar I think the least useful of our new abilities is Emergency tactics (yes even less useful than Dissipate) The double heal doesn't make up for the loss of shield in most situations and in those oh shit moments adding an extra button press to the mix seems detrimental rather than useful.

    I feel I would be more inclined to use it if it made the next shield skill turn into a full heal and be instant cast, this would feel more like an emergency button and be a lot more useful.

    It would also help to supplement lustrate and Indomitability so it becomes a choice between mp or aetherflow, feeling like as a so called strategist we have more options available to us.

    But in other news also fix dissipate, at least increase the heal potency/ make the next pet summon free / lower the timer on pet being away.

    I learnt Ravana EX with a double SCH setup and I can happily say that Emergency tactics was a fantastic ability in this case <3

    The only use I've found for Dissipate is to get 9 back to back aetherflows for hunts.

    you are using it wrong, you use it after you applied a shield and need to recover HP quickly.

    to heal a tank i think it's often not mandatory. but in groupheal it is. -> fat AOE incoming? succor up -> damage received -> emergency tactics+succor and a indomibility as a follow up = great success!

    Emergency Tactics is amazing. Only a 30 sec CD too? Finally makes Succor much better. Even better when you crit heals.

    No this is incorrect. Using Adlo/Succor then Emergency after does absolutely nothing. You use ET before to make Adlo/Succor basically into a Cure II/Medica.

    wtf are you talking about, if they dont hjave a shield the normal succor or adlo creates as much health as ET, but when they allready have shield, then ET creates more heal.

    Emergency tactics is an ok spell, you can use it to anticipate heavy raid aoe damage in case you don't have stacks of aetherflow or want to save them for indomitability/lustrates. It's almost always only useful with succor...you almost never want to replace an adloquium for a cure II, however, there are times where you want to replace a succor for a medica. It's not the most powerful spell they have given us, but I wouldn't describe it as useless.

    Dissipation is useless.

    Yeah, well, fair enough. I stand corrected. I find ET slightly less useless than Dissipation.

    I think you are missing the most useful aspect of Emergency Tactics, which is Double adlo when wanting to get a tank up quickly.
