From there I'd rather distribute that lost healing power to Seraph, she feels underwhelming as the lvl 80 capstone. Having her version of Whispering Dawn and Fey Illumination be stronger would make a lot of sense, and boosting them by that lost 20+% would make them feel good to use instead of just having her be an AoE shield dispenser.
    Yep.

    Just put a flat 20% healing to all spells / actions on dissipate (no fairy removal) and bring back quickened aetherflow.

    Hell Sage has that already in Krasis.

    *Increases HP recovery via healing actions for a party member or self by 20%.
    * Duration: 10s

    Yet another thing Sage stole from SCH but was made better / less clunky.

    Dissipation is one of the only (if not **the** only) skills in the game that directly conflicts with other capstone skills. It's not fun to use in the slightest. And if it's not fun, what's the point?

    Also, the bonus healing only affects 3 spells, 2 of them we really shouldn't be using at all (physic / succor)

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
