Is Dissipation really that bad?

[ScorpiusO-Ra-E]

I mean no offense but what are you guys casting that needs so much mana? Could there be a possible workaround such as planning LD usage around it? I know I myself rarely tend to run out of mana and instead options during these episodes. (ie. emergency tactics & Indom on cd leaving my only viable AF skills of note to be lustrate or Energy Drain to gain mana back.) I'm rarely spamming physick at this point and if I am only, because it's THE most mana-efficient thing on my hotbar. By the end of Dissipation I'm left with enough mana to swiftcast my fairy back into being unless I had to waste it on someone who died recently to a mechanic of some sort (usually dps because I like to keep my tanks floating somewhere around 75%).

Like is there anyone in this game who actually finds the skill usable at least marginally and has a gameplan set up in the case that it NEEDS to be used, and how best effectively?

nothing really they're probably spamming succor or adlo and teammates getting hit by mechanics. djsiipation has it's downsides but that's not to say it's a weak and useless ability. you have to find ways to use it and it's not bad once you learn the fight. I try to use it when I can. I've only done o1s and o2s and there's PLENTY of downtime and transition phases that I can afford to hardcast summoning the fairy back.

that said I mostly use the fey illumination/covenant > dissipated largessed deployed adlo combo . adding sacred soil here and there. it's godly when it crits. I've gotten as high as 15K adlo crit lol. the tanks barely took any damage during Twinbolt:]]

I like dissipation. fits the whole tactical and pre planning niche of the sCH. don t listen to the Doom and gloom you often see in the forums. especially NOW 4.05 when all healers are fine/viable/ desireable/not useless
