Is Dissipation really that bad?

[paoweeotter]

there is a "similar" fight in o3s where a lot of back to back aoe damage is coming out during apanda library phase. I was in a pug and it was my first time reaching the animals and the pug leader called for an adlo as a prep for that mechanic. could be a good use to pop fairy cooldowns then dissipate but have i have to see the fight more. during this phase the add will be doing a lot of damage on the tank while halicarnassus spans dimensional wave iirc.

either I'll pop fairy cooldowns and dissipate largesse adlo then ET succor > succor > indom.

or pop fairy cds do the same thing but have fey union on the tank. for now I'll think I'll do the latter.

ADD comes out. hali starts spamming dimensional. i pop fairy cooldowns. if aetherflow is on a long cooldown and I use sacred soil, excog and save one stack for an indom i couuuuld dissipate if extra stack is needed for emergency lustrates but hoping it won't come to that. most groupsnive been in have WHMs after all.. they are SO clutch/strong right now in savage

I used to love it. Use it just before long phase transitions. After i found out you could use it as a FAIRY SWAP I FELL IN LOVE. Then SE went and fixed it. :[ Now i hate it. Took a what was a good skill by accidental design and made it meh.

The thing I'll never have:

Dissipation: Orders your pet away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack.
Also grants a buff that increases healing magic potency by 20%. Aetherflow spent while in dissipation will fill fairy gauge at a rate of 20 instead of 10. Using aetherflow outside of a fairy summoned or dissipation will have no effect on the gauge. Your next Summon or Summon II is instant cast. Buff ends after 30 seconds or when your next Summon or Summon II is cast.

too bad spending aetherflow while under the effects of dissipation (faerie can't be summoned) does nothing to the faerie gauge.

Yeah :[ That's why it's part of my suggested skill change.

I'd rather largesse and spam physick than kill my faerie.

I like having it as backup, but wish it did resumon the fairy after. In savage so far 1-2 its not needed with my group.
I've mainly used it on massive tank pulls in expert, as some tanks love to up their dps with str, that it lowers party dps due to me standing there. Healing a tank non stop with his ultra low hp. The sams hp in the party was 2000 hp below the tanks max hp lol. Luckly i can kill my fairy fast and get more lustrates to cure the tank. Most of the time ppl are knowledgeable in the art of tanking to balance in coming/out going dmg, which buys time for dot spread.

I dont mind the loss of the fairy heal because in hw fairy was always around 20% of my healing, I think. The part that hurts is the loss of fairy gague, correct me if im wrong. But I think that resets when we kill the fairy on the move.

after an entire day of pug V3S I've been using it on the very first spellblade holy. with 13k critlo it's saved some people with bad positioning and theres enlugh shields left for the following Waltz. its fun to hear PUGs reaction on discord when i pull it off xD.thats the only time I use it though. all fairy cooldowns on pull. largesse adlo plus excog on the tank for tank buster then dissipate spam adlo (4 times) to fish for a crit then deploy. hardcast the fairy during oink (no healing required on the raid during this time. that's the only time I use it though. currently stuck at library apanda :s

They really just need to make it resummon the fairy at the end.... The MP cost (and possibly time to resummon it) is what makes the skill aweful.
I mean, I still have it "in case".
However, with the buff to hasted etherflux it's less terrible. At least you gain another 15sec CDR on your flux.

But really, the day they make the spell resummon the fairy, you'll see more people using it. It would still be an emergency spell though.

Yunna's O3S vid is good. Aside from the scythe tether being taken to the wrong direction, as you want to always end up mindjacked in a diagonal-direction from your tether

I do like the Dissipate spot right before the animal game if you need the stacks. Although this can potentially take your swiftcast out during the last phase period where there is likely more-derp. It's a basically a dead spot for any damage, but it is notable to get more stacks freely.

The fairy tether is pretty valuable in several places, since it allows more healer DPS uptime for both. Especially the tanks that take an add by themselves. Of course my PLD does run the fight mostly in Sword Oats, and autos and mechanic damage I really don't have to babysit because of it. I'm sure this will change a bit as the weeks go-by with more gear.
