What Dissipation should have been

[Divine_Ultima]

Would adding the effect of Battle Litany to Dissipation be broken? I love your idea of the fairy switching effects OP.

Also, another great use for dissipation is if Eos or Selene take a hit and die you can dissipate them for free aetherflow stacks while they're at 0 HP in the party list before they dissapear.

I like the idea of a pseudo Enkindle by adding a New effect when dissipating your fairy. Kill eso would heal in aoe for like 400 potency, and Selene would give a shield of a potency of 200( or smth). And i think that the fairy we killed should return on its own at the end of the effect. being able to switch fairy for free sounds a bit op, nah ?

The only real issue I see with this skill is the way it works.

You can use Dissipation when your fairy dies and have the effects activate. So fairy falls to 0 HP and during its long death animation, if you cast Dissipation, the fairy will die anyway and you'll get your buff. In the case of this change, you'd be able to let the fairy die and then re-summon the other one instantly, thus losing the penalty of allowing the fairy to get rekt. Not a super bad issue, but something noteworthy, I think.

Aside from that, I feel this would be a far more effective and worthwhile skill for SCH to learn at 60 than Dissipation, which is situational and more useful for the DPS gain of +3 Energy Drains than it is for the healing boost.

Dissipation:
Orders your pet away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20% for 30s (PvP 45s).
Summon or Summon II cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Additional Affect: While under the effect of Dissipation select abilities have increased Potency by 20%.
Lustrate: 720
Indomitability: 480
Energy Drain: 180 (This will not affect MP recovered.)

This fixes the healing potency being unaffected, even if that was intentional. It also allows for 6 buffed energy drains, every use. Which is like gaining a free energy drain and then some, on top of the dps increase that dissipation already brings.

I think what OP suggested should be our level 70 "ultimate" skill. Minus the additional aetherflow.

Just an idea: dissapation turns your lvl 51-60 class skills into fairy abilities. Broil is now a silence. Emergency tactics, instead of doubling the heal, now adds whispering dawn (weaker for casting a succor, or stronger for using on adloquium). Indomibility loses its heal but is now a fey covenant. Deployment tactics now casts a fey wind to everyone around selected target, but loses ability to spread adlo + eye.

Done at the correct time, you essentially have the timers reset of the fairies abilities, plus broil is now a spammable silence. Downsides is broil now does zero damage, indom does no healing, and emergency tactics cant give everyone adlo shield plus is now on cooldown. Dissapation, instead of a healing boost, is more like swapping toolkits.

A pet switch ability would be great but in my opinion it is something that should have existed on Arcanist back in 2.0 since both Summoner and Scholar could make great use of switching pets instead of being limited to a specific pet during the whole battle.

[Llynd]

Yeah.. Well the idea of Killing the fairy is stupid at the bases lol
So removing this will definately give the skill a better use. And yeah switching fairies.. Why not but since they share CDs...

[sovalou]

dissapate is fine as is. It allows for extra dps while still giving you decent healing potency upon losing your pet. I typically us it on pull to throw out 6 energy drains since my co'healer can handle it for awhile until I start pumping out OP adlos'.

[Llynd]

It is not. Wasting a Swift +2k mana to resummon your pet when it is supposed to be an "oh sh** buttons", this is not the use we should have of it.
