I just cant grasp Sage

TY I will later once I have calmed down. 25 times seeing the NPC in the first story dungeon lose 95% HP in one blow while shielded, then lose the rest after an instant heal but before you get a chance to pop any others, gets a bit.... well Its pushed my desire to play at all too an all time low lol.

So i think some calming down is in order for now.

While this video is for Shadowbringers and Scholar, it's still very relevant information for how to approach healing. And with Sage sharing a lot of similarities to Scholar, it may help at least give you a better understanding on how to approach barrier healing. It may even be beneficial for you to play a little of Scholar as it's generally easier to grasp compared to Sage.

Beyond that, try not to beat yourself up too much. I've been leveling Reaper and even as an experienced Melee and Tank player, it still takes a bit to sort of get comfortable with how the job flows and what I'm supposed to align with my buffs.
