Change SCH Dissipation

[ForsakenRoe]

Maybe the problem is just how restrictive it is? I wonder, if we just divide everything by 3, would that help make it feel less bad? ATM we're locked out of the fairy for a full 30s. That sucks. So what if we changed it to 60s CD, locks you out for 10s, and gives 1 stack instead of 3? Over 3mins, it'd do the same thing, but it'd now be more versatile.

The only time I see Dissipation being useful outside of 'more energy drains' is in buildup enrages like Terminal Relativity, where you use it after every Fairy CD is spent, so you can get the 20% healing boost for the upcoming succor spam. But 10sec would cover the last wave of Terminal or Dominion or whatever just as well as the current 30s does. Unless we're spending everything on the first wave, and using Dissipation on both 2nd and 3rd which wouldnt make much sense to me but hey im not a SCH main (yet, maybe next tier)

Yessss Like.

SCH is my main healer, and I love and hate dissipation, mainly hate.
For myself when the fight starts (Mainly in savage/ex) I will summon seraph and UNGA Bunga shield at the start, and by the time she goes away I immediately eat my faerie for the Shields cover most of the incoming Damage, and I can gain aetherflow without missing out on the 2K mp regen on Aetherflow itself, as a min piety sch I need every ounce lol.

but besides that,
WHY do we lose Half our healing kit?
Why do we lose out Faerie?
Why does it grant Aetherflow BUT DOES NOTHING TO BUFF SAID AETHERFLOW?

everyone and everything mentioned here is right, like.

at least Art of war is a gain on 2

Yessss Like.

Completely unrelated to the topic at hand but...

That is an epic signature image! Love it!
(Just had to say that...)

[JacobNewblood]

Thank you! was a pain to get the angle right and pausing everything just right lol

If they don't want to change it for whatever reason... FINE.

However... at the VERY LEAST...
Make the potency increase healing action by 10% instead of that weird 20% healing spells.

Most of SCH kit oGCD action.

Since they don't want to change it since 3.x the best they could offer would be this.

I say keep the aetherflow gain and also instead of the healing magic potency, make all spells instant cast for like 10 seconds or something like that.

Or, make it reset all of our faerie skills used. So we use whispering dawn then use dissipation then we skip the CD. I’d take that too. Just make it unique. I agree that healing magic potency is not good since it only affects 3 casted heals.

I feel like Dissipation was a package we received from FedEx back when HW released, but since none of us ordered it, we tried to let the delivery guy know he had the wrong address, but rather than accept that, he just argued with us that he did, in fact, deliver it to the right address. And now here we are, almost 8 years later, still arguing with the FedEx delivery guy in the front lawn about how we didn't order this and we don't want it, and he just won't let up. The house isn't even ours anymore because we didn't have time to pay any bills. It's been collected and sold to another family. Our kid graduated high school and we missed the graduation. All because this damn delivery guy won't just take Dissipation and walk away.

We know SE love tanks and DRK got it's invuln fixed in 6.0
By that logic, you can't expect a SCH 3.0 problem to be fixed before at least 9.0
That is if they find "what they can do" with the job by then.

Dissipation definitely needs a buff….an add-on in a way. WHM’s give party dmg reduction, AST gives a shield/regen. SGE DPS/cure nuke that Zoe can buff. SCH’s……you barely use your healing tools to benefit the 20% buff. If they want the fairy to remove from the field, just give it a buffed party max HP up on top of the 20% healing buff.

Thought about the regen, shield, and dmg mitigation, but the other healers have it in their 2 min abilities so was thinking of a party protraction….stronger version though.

They don't know what to do with DRK or SCH. At this point I'd say nix the AST/DRG reworks and focus on DRK/SCH. At this point DRK needs a number of changes to where it feels good to play and survive on. SCH...it's time to retire Aetherflow and make the Fairy gauge the main healing gauge, since that allows them to change a large number of healing skills and abilities to fit it. It also allows Dissipation to be changed into something good, like a gauge dump. We can just make Energy Drain an oGCD with 2 charges (40s cooldown per charge) that gets you MP and gauge per use.
