Sage with bad tanks

And Kerachole in particular, to have another 15s 10% damage reduction. It's something many healers seem averse to, but particularly Sages.

You want to use your AoE abilities even for just the tank. If you use them on the 1st pull between each boss, they will be back up again during the boss fights. I typically do Krasis - Physis - Kerachole - Haima - Terachole when Kera wears off and Soteria on 1st pull. Then Krasis - Physis - Kera - Panahaima - Terachole - Holos on 2nd pull. Then boss, then everything will be back up.

Don't forget to combine your ogcd heals with a shield. As soon as the shield applies, because this briefly stops damage and tops the tank without their hp continuing to drop.

Wait until their hp is low enough about half, or based on the rate at which thier hp is dropping, as to avoid over healing. Spreading your mitigation is important. Use lucid earlier 'before' going full gcd/shield heal mode, not once your mp is too low 40 -50%.

Also, as you aoe dps, target the tank while doing so and hit ogcd heals. Key here is that at least you can help kill things faster. Apply a buffed shield first, aoe, reapply before the buff(s) runs out. Rinse and repeat. Dead mobs can't hurt tanks. If all else fails, just focus on healing. Longer mitigations first and keep regens on cd dont save these (it's a dungeon).

Never hold lucid, press it on CD even in the opener when your MP is full, you should always press lucid on CD

SGE doesn’t really need to GCD shield, it has so many oGCD’s that can cover everything you really only need to GCD shield in an absolutely last ditch scenario, SGE is designed around not GCD shielding by default

let them die haha but sometime it's a good way or you can ask if they know what mitigation is sometime they might never be aware nor only run with the trust/duty support system
