6.0 New Job (Healer: Sage and Melee DPS: ???)

[SturmChurro]

I'm hoping this one is cool, and I like it enough, that I might consider playing it over white mage. While I love white mage, always played it, pressing 1 over and over is pretty boring. We'll have to see what they do to healers overall in 6.0...

Sage is a interesting take on Healer and a FF14 newly introduced job to the series

No it isn't. It's a shield healer, which we already have, and looks like a sci-fi version of a White Mage, complete with similar light-based spell effects and graceful and agile animations.

I am speaking more on the animation of the Job and the concept of how it use the weapon chosen for the job. What is establish now can be improved and adjusted in future FF games that choose to bring new FF characters that use this Job for future FF games.

Sage looks awful.

[LisSquid]

Sage looks sexy.

Sage looks sexy.

Looks like it came straight out of PSO. Not necessarily a bad thing.

For those who aren't watching the stream right now:

Weapons: Nouliths

It will be a barrier healer and will be able to temporarily augment their own magical power
(To distinguish between burst healers and barrier healers more, AST will be receiving changes to be more of a burst healer)

Sage looks awful.

I think it looks fine. It's more worrying that they're making AST a regen healer. I don't think their "Shield Healer vs Pure Healer" dichotomy ever made sense, they should've just given WHM some shields.

[GrumbleBeard]

New healer looks pretty neat, ast potentially losing noct sect doesn't bother me since they already lost everything that made them cool, and new melee is great because melee is more fun to play.

I missed the first bit of the showcase, I think when they announced this healer and melee dps. So, what are we thinking, everything but this and whm are dead?
