Dissipation Rework

[ThorneDynasty]

Is there "an appeal to jealousy" logical fallacy with a fancy Latin name? Just because you don't need braincells to play any of the other healers' kits doesn't make the requirement of a single braincell a worse gameplay design choice. "But it's unfair" seems like a pretty odd complaint when Scholar doesn't actually perform any worse for it. If you don't just randomly press buttons when healing.

I understand that many people view SGE as the perfected SCH with none of the "conflicts" or the "clunk", I respect their opinion on that.

Now, what I want from those people is for them to respect that I want to play SCH and not play SGE, so kindly stop asking SE to turn SCH into SGE. Thanks.

I think people are still angry that besides mobility SCH still beats SGE in every single category that has any meaning, SCH still does the most damage of the healers, still has the strongest shields and the most utility, it’s still the strongest healer despite SGE apparently being the “perfected SCH”

I think people just want their cake and to eat it to with SGE, they want the easiest healer to also be the best healer

We've been waiting for Dissipation changes since 2.0 or 3.0?
Honestly I don't even play SCH anymore, SGE does the same without the clunky fairy.

“People who don’t play SCH have been waiting for dissipation changes since 3.0, dissipation wasn’t in 2.0, it’s the HW capstone skill

Of the times I have used Dissipation, either by accident or not, it's unfortunate to lose the passive benefits but it's not something that completely breaks the flow of the job. If you manage your fairy cooldowns properly that most of them are on cooldown and your Aetherflow healing is available except that you do not have the necessary amount of stacks, then Dissipation is worth it. Even if it were done on accident, it makes your GCD heals do 20% more healing. Emergency Tactics, coming into mind, will be even more bursty. If used with (Fey Illumination prior to using Dissipation) Protraction, Recitation, and Deployment Tactics, you'll have THICKER shields. And like what I have mentioned previously, if there are no need of fairy healing for the next 30 seconds, might as well use those stacks to push DPS via Energy Drain. See all the preparations we need to do.. and then a SGE overwrites it... yeah. still very salty until now.

I don't get why people want Dissipation reworked when Summon Seraph is much more problematic than it.

It is unnecessary complexity when something simpler like Rouse, could do the trick and without suffering the animation delay. Funny they removed it and replaced it with an ability that takes forever to cast because SMN can call Bahamut and some SCH got jealous?

Thank god someone who finally agrees with me that seraph is SCH’s actual problem, not dissipation

The problem with that is after the ED nerfs, 3 of them amounts to a whopping single extra broil for losing all of the passive healing for 30 seconds.

To be fair, the intention was that ED was to use up any unused stacks whenever Aetherflow is off cooldown. We'll just have to wait and see what they will do in Dawntrail if they'll buff ED's potency to be neutral with (probably) Broil V, in terms of potency. Using all stacks of Aetherflow when no apparent healing is a trade. More so, if we factor in Dissipation. In fact, one can argue that instead of normal Aetherflow stacks that Dissipation gives, it will be Empowered Aetherflow Stacks where all actions done using those will either have extra effects or a flat out better potencies.

I agree they should probably buff ED, people were willing to “chad” their co healer for ED in ShB when it was a measly 10 potency gain over just spamming broil, it’s obvious that as long as ED is a gain (which it should be because of how AF works) people will use it, so they may as well make it a satisfying button to actually press given it’s tradeoffs
