To all my fellow Sages...

First: unlock it and peer at the tooltips, note any changes since the media tour and rig up a hotbar.
Then either
1. Dump two WT tails books in a row and start grinding it in bozja (if changes make it a healer and not a Dosis spammer)
2. Dump my nouliths in my retainer and do the msq as rdm, gnb or dnc (if it stays a dosis spammer) Check again in a month after the emergency patch and repeat 1 or 2. If 2 again, then its time i looked for another game to heal on.

I will unlock and level up the Sage via roulettes and dungeons. After that i will decide if I will progress in the story with Sage or White Mage.

I'm up in the air on what to do and want to hear your plans! Talk to me...

I'm definitely going to play sage, mainly because it has a far better job gear than the other healers (as far as male characters are concerned), and I've been a healer main since I started playing the game...

but first I'm doing the MSQ on Warrior. I didn't get around to jumping ship to tank in ShB and this time I am not making that mistake. I will then level Sage at a snail's pace on the roulette bonus, when the healer queue inflation has died down. Dosis spam will wait.

I keep going backwards and forwards on this and right now whether to level SCH. I suppose My housemate is a lifelong WHM and loves the job no matter what so I think I will do RDM this time around rather than SMN and we can do dungeons together when I used to tank.

I have given up levelling up all jobs to 80 as it is pointless for myself. I am also a Scholar main and it has been since ARR beta job despite its changes I struggle to let go which is silly as I feel invested. I will do what others mention I will level Sage slowly and do every single dungeon with it.

I love trying a new job so I will run it through my favourite dungeons per expansion and see how it feels. I like to get basic mechanics down per expansion so I get the tooltips and play style. I am a bit slower.

Scholar or Sage showdown is where I am at.

For MSQ progression, I have a weird thing where I don't play any of the jobs any of the other Scions do, so Sage is out. That won't stop me from leveling it though. Reducing the CD on their gap closer might get me to change my mind about that.

I'd rather it have charges (like 3 of them), so I can turret harder. Also, maybe a speed buff since it looks slow from what I've seen of it.

It seems like they designed it around the use of Phlegma (ugh that name, so cringe). Which I agree would make sense if it had charges to match, hopefully its a change they make! Plus all of its healing is centered in a very close radius around itself being able to reposition like that would add a lot of quality of life to the job!

As far as the topic goes, definitely rushing to 80 and using it in msq, then scholar shortly after. Same as I did when I was super hyped for astro on its release!

I'd rather have Icarus be on a charge system than Phlegma.

Reduce Phlegma's CD so the break to the awful Dosis x12 between DoT reaplication happens more often.

Gonna level both new classes to 80 by using roulettes, challenge logs and Bozja.

Then you may not be very fond of sage either. 85% of the kit is the same hehe. Unless your reasons for disliking sch is aesthetics, or more about the fairy, and things like it prioritizing movement over using its abilities (though this is mitigated by placing it before hand).
