Dissipation vs Divine Seal

[Nektulos-Tuor]

Synastry
Increases healing magic potency by 20% for 20s.
Heals bleed to the target for an additional 40% healing. Amazing on Wars :'3
30 yard range!
90s Cooldown.

Dissipation:
Increases healing magic potency by 0% to -5% for 30s.
Gives you Aetherflow.
180s Cooldown.
Costs a ton of mana.

Divine Seal
Increases healing magic potency by 30% for 15s.
60s Cooldown.



I really think this needs looked at, it is quite clear that Astrologian and White Mage abilities when comparing to this one are quite overpowered.

This thread is dumb.

Dissipation's use is for burst AoE healing, the one thing your fairy sucks at.

SCH didn't even HAVE Dissipation in 2.0 when WHM had Divine Seal...and SCH was still good.

You're using dissipation for burst aoe healing when the devs have straight up said it's primarily for aether stacks and your aoe aether heal is on a 30s cd?

Sure..........

I wish people would stop defending how bad this is so we could get it fixed sooner.

It's a terrible emergency cooldown and if you're using it for that you're probably already screwed, if not you are after it's done with. At best it's for dps during a burn/enrage timer.

Dissipation:
Increases healing magic potency by 0% to -1.5% for 30s.
180s Cooldown.

Pretty accurate but you left out the 1900 mana cost for the CD.

The healing increase is not the point of dissapation, it's the full AF stack. It's a move for emergencies where you need to dump lustrates into something and there's no time or you flubbed your AF management(topping a tank off for busters in a1s after prey, final phase of a2s If the tanks are getting too many stacks. Etc).

Generally speaking you dont want to use this ability, but it can save a wipe.

I completely agree that this is how it's supposed to be used. It's one of those skills you leave on the backburner of your hotbar until that one situational instance you need it. I don't think it's a very good CD, but I understand its intended use.

They should make the fairy return to you once the healing buff wears off though. I don't think it would be a particularly amazing CD with that change, but it might see more regular use.

And then you cripple yourself for 30s as well as losing mp and swiftcast on your fairy making it a big loss.
Dissipation is useless.

[pandabearcat]

Then don't use it. You didn't have it in 2.0, why weren't you complaining about divine seal then?

[Sidra]

Dissipation sucks, you don't need to compare it to some random skill from another job to make that case.

troll account?

if not, everyone should just ignore him. He is a lvl 57 sch (also lvl 20 cnj and lvl 26 thm) with what looks like 0 Raid Experience using lvl 50 i110/i120 sol/wod pieces. He doesn't have enough experience with the class(s) to really complain...

I have different characters for every class. As a role-player I like to have different characters and appearance, this is simply one of my alts.

Also, what about level 50 experience? The expansion has been out 3 months, and I am working on several characters.

It does not suck, it's just very situational. Think of the potential shield you could have if you use fey illumination->dissipation-> adlo+deployment tactics. This is a 3000+HP shield (8000+ if adlo crits considering the recent tweak to critical hit rate) and it may very well be the ultimate mitigation in future end game content where you might save your LB for your dps instead of having your tank use it to survive the massive AoE SE will surely throw at us. It can be used to increase your dps a little as well. Of course you don't want to use always use, in fact you'll probably use it once or twice in very specific situations, but it has potential. A 20% healing buff is a very big deal when applied to galvanize.

Rouse + Whispering Dawn says hi. Much, Much Better as long as your max health exceeds the damage your going to take. That combo is ONLY better if you rely on it and are fully prepared for it. Which you just shouldn't, i'd rather just Sacred Soil+Fey Illum+Succor then Rouse+Whispering Dawn for big AOE hits, as LONG as someone has 1 HP left the combo is much better.

You click Fey Illumination then have to wait about 3 seconds for her to cast it even if you control the Faerie, then Dissipation, then Adlo, then deployment tactics.

Also.

Radius: 5 yalms kind of makes the ability pointless unless your in a very organized raid and about to get a HUGE hit.

So, I could perhaps see it working for one or two party fights in the game. However overall, its really just ok.
