I can see a lot of healers having to prog as SCH if Savage lands with some stern DPS checks. I'd be inclined to guess that this is the reason that SCH got what appears to be a bit of a raw deal when taken in isolation.
Are Sage's potencies inflated, though? SGE has no oGCD damage spells, so its GCDs kinda have to be more powerful, otherwise it wouldn't be able to compete with Assize, Energy Drain, Star and Lord.
