Which healing job are they gonna gut for Sage?

[SweetPete]

Or it can be that they augment their own power which will effect the party somehow. I guess we will see though in a couple weeks as I’m sure SE will delve more into what they meant about Sage augmenting their own magic power.

They're just going to get cleric stance and divine seal. It's probably why that stuff got deleted in the first place.

And also time magic since they removed time magic from astro.

I love how people are claiming the AST death before even seeing how the kit will be reworked.

White Mage's Stormblood lilies would like a word with you. The devs have a begin sarcasm great track record of healer changes end sarcasm. So it's completely understandable for the AST doom and gloom.

I have a feeling that Sage will be a dps type healer that heals while dpsing and has the instant shields of AST. It’s like similar to SCH having eos heal while they DPS. While having to temporarily step in when eos (dps) isn’t enough.

Zettai ni urusa nai!

Absolutely not noisy?

If you're gonna weeb, at least use proper Japanese words.

Whm - Probably wont have much if any changes
Ast - Noct getting gutted but should still be in a good place
Sch - Just straight up needs a rework its already in a rough spot

As for Sge, from what I understood is that it'll be able to self augment a couple of its skills, maybe increase damage, or cast speed, or turn skills into AoEs, stuff like that. That being said it sounds more like its going to be shield variant of Whm, not much if any raid utility. So if Devs go that route maybe Sch will fill in the role of raid utility/buffs. Im curious if Sch and Sge shields wont stack like Ast and Sch does now, and if they'll change 8+ person queues to prioritize 1 shield heal and 1 pure heal.

I'd just go Diurnal.

It surprises me how many AST's firmly believe they must go Noct when they're paired with a WHM.

If the party allows, I do. It's not so much ASTs believing they must go noct, but I have been kicked from many parties trying to state that the hots stack very nicely. I think many ASTs are just tired of having the same conversation to justify their stance and just take the L to play in peace.

Oh the keynote yoshi said raids will reflect 1 pure and 1 barrier healer. As raids will need 1 of each.

So would that mean that DF groups are screwed if they get 2 of the same type or.....
