The Last SCH Problem: Dissipation

[KDSilver]

I would be okay with the current Dissipation if it wouldn't reset the fairy gauge or allow us to resummon the Fairy for free mp cost.

Simply no. All of our oGCD heals are gated behind Aetherflow stacks. Every Aetherflow stack that you don't use on Energy Drain can be considered to cost you 1200 MP.

To add to that, all Aetherflow actions essentially share the same cooldown since, if you have no Aetherflow, you can't use them. Doesn't matter if they're off cooldown, they can't be used.

The only logical reason to delete your faerie is because you are oom, miles from lucid and can't afford the energy drain which in itself, is a horrible predicament to be in (and probably means you aren't playing very well). But if god forbid, you are in this position, it seems counterproductive to do so, then wind up spending that mana regen you were saving back on resummoning your faerie. It should, as a bare minimum at least cost less.

My idea:

Make Dissipation permanently unsummon your fairy and provide you with a good size boost (20-30%), giving you the abilities of the fairy (sans embrace)

This would allow SCH to be able to become a pure healer if necessary minus all the clunkiness of the fairy. If this were the case, I doubt I would ever see Eos again.

Wouldn't this just be like playing a Whm then? They just need to get rid of a skill that takes away a chunk of our healing for a boost to our weak shields and Physick.

I'm not talking about Aetherflow actions. I'm talking about fairy actions, which are indeed completely free, both in mp cost and gcd usage.

1) The most obvious change: give us our faerie back.
We are already being punished for not having the faerie during Dissipation, there's no reason to be double punished by having to summon it back.

this would a big buff

3) Buff it.
The healing buff only affects some of our healing, and 20% isn't enoughpac.

it gives 20% healing AND 3 aetherflow. that is three free lustrates or energy drains at least. and the 20% healing is a another largess for a super adlo or deployed adlo or even just a succor.

dissipation is different from other healing cooldowns in that it doesn't give you an immediate desirable effect and that's why people hate it. but the ability is strong IF you can use it properly.

let's look at O1S. you can heal it JUST fine without Dissipation. but let's look at it...

during one of the knockback plus levinbolt phase 2 DPS stacked and are now at 5% HP. this is followed by a raid buster so everyone needs to be at full. You already used an energy drain so you only have 2 left and you popped Lustrate on one and the other healer took care of the other DPS. you have one aether left and aetherflow won't cooldown in time. you use indomitability plus Rouse and wbispering Dawn to heal everyone after the raidbuster.

[paoweeotter]

O aetherstacks but everyone is alive. your aetherflow is still on CD.

But after this the boss is going to do Charybdis (everyone to 1 hp) followed by Twinbolt on the 2 tanks. You pop Fey Covenant and FEY Illumination out of instinct.

all your pet abilities are down. Whispering Dawn is still ticking on the raid however but this won't be enough for the upcoming Twinbolt. fey illum and covenant buffs are still also up.

You pop Dissipation dismissing the pet and giving you 3 aether stacks. one goes to the Mt with Excogitation. You swiftcast a dissipated largessed adlo on the offtank then deploy it. you have 2 stacks of aetherflow left and you use one on the offtank which leaves you with am extra aether after Twinbolt is cast. raid is alive and everyone is alive.

after this mechanic is sort of a transition phase where not a lot of damage goes out which gives you ample time to harder your pet back after dissipation ends.

This is just one instance of how I HAVE used it. every attempt is fun and as I learn the fights ill find more ways to use Dissipation

(character limit. sorry for the multi posts lol)
