Well it still has a 180s CD, so maybe not every minute. That would be OP.

The move should definitely see more usage with Scholar having MP costs lowered across the board. I think that was the major reason for not using it much, the cast timer being reduced isn't as impactful for SCH as I'm assuming we'll generally want to Swiftcast it for more weaving potential. It'll be interesting to see how we coordinate Dissipation with the rest of our kit, in an odd way it will require a lot of pre-planning and that does mesh well with the whole image of the job.

That being said, I really hope this isn't their fix for the ability. Its usage will increase for sure, but not for the purpose it was designed for. They should probably acknowledge that and give it some sort of buff relating to DPS for now. (Assuming it won't be getting a proper rework until 5.0 at this point.)

I also really like Cynfael's suggestion. It almost made me think of how MCHs abilities change when they get to 50 on their heat gauge. Something like that would not only make our kit more interesting, but it would probably be visually appealing to get newer players to engage more. I also completely have no expectations that SE will give SCH this much love, but we can hope. #prayFor5.0
