Relatively large concern about new Healer: Sage

[Mahoukenshi]

Spoiler alert: Healing story dungeons is not very hard. I am sure you can use the "Cure 2" equivalent the whole dungeon and be fine.
By the time people arrive at end-content, they should have a grasp on the job already.

This maybe come as a surprise, but this depends on the players and ther innate (lack of) skill level. Just to give a short ancedotal perspective: I don't consider myself a good or above-average player, so whatever, but I did an actual pre-50 dungeon on SCH for grand company quest (Dzemael Darkhold). And healing felt quite rough in it, mostly during big(ger) trash packs. Adlo's shield was not really helping during bigger pulls, Physic felt underperforming and Lustrate has its 3 charges.

But eh... What can I say, by NA standard, I'd have been kicked post-50 anyways for being shaky with many mechanics *lol*.

SCH and WHM both feel extremely underwhelming in low level content after their healing "revamp", especially in MP management. While AST gets 16% MP back per minute at lvl 30 via Draw, SCH has to wait until 45 to get 10% back per minute and WHM doesn't get anything outside of Lucid Dreaming until they get Thin Air.

If you're casting every GCD like you should be, you can run into some major MP issues.

IMHO, this is an easy fix, Aetherflow needs to go back to lvl 30 and Fluid Aura needs to give 5-8% mana back on cast. That would fix low level mana management on SCH and WHM.

Aetherflow needs to go back to lvl 30.

edit: nvm I'm a dumb. I thought we were talking about ED. (previously said they would remove ED next expansion.
