Dissipation now no longer removes the fairy and gives you 100 Aetherflow stacks.

Hmm... I see what you did there...

If only there was a completely unused gauge on scholar they could leverage.

Everyone's just winding themselves up by making up disastrous hypotheticals and then complaining about those hypotheticals as if they already happened. It's just a negative circle jerk at this point.

Okay as someone who hates how they turn SB AST into whatever abomination ShB/EW AST is, I wish I could upvote your 100 times just for that AST section alone.

Then you must be selectively reading only the worst ones or you just can't distinguish criticism from actual whining. Whining is just complaining too much, without even saying what's wrong with that. For example "WTF island sanctuary is garbage".

I really wouldn't say that there is a lot of whining. Sure, some put their criticism in very non-nonchalant way, but that's still valid criticism. Something like "WTF island sanctuary is garbage because there are mammets everywhere, gathering is just clicking on nodes, there are no minigames or any actually relaxing features, workshop is just excel spreadsheet" is still very valid criticism, even though it could be worded more glamourously.

As for suggestions, first off, that's devs job. Customers ideally just point out problems, devs solve them. But even if you wanted suggestions, there's plenty of them. For fixing 2 min meta and crit variance, popular suggestions are bringing back ShB cooldowns and removing direct hit stat. For SAM problems, there are proposals to just finally bring back Kaiten so Kenki has some management and job isn't about spamming Shinten every 3rd weave window. If button bloat is really a concern, then merge Iki with Ogi and/or remove duplicate ST/AoE skills. Healers keep proposing changes to make healing more involved or at least make damage rotation more interesting.

Stop reading only what you want hear, that's what SE is already doing.

I do agree that it's the devs job to fix healers, which is why I like to put my complaints as more like... vibes. I may post my preferences, but I'm more interested in the vibes.

1) Needing a healer in 99% of content feels like a skill issue, that is, being a good healer is wasted on a good party.
2) Healing good is boring in a good party, that is, healer engagement is way too dependent on the party playing poorly in respect to the content they are in.

Now, it is possible that someone likes these vibes, or rather, that they wouldn't like the vibes if my issues were addressed, but it's much easier to see conflicts here rather than get caught up in the details.

(Though I do enjoy doing some kit theorecraft myself, haha)
