Besides, Sage is ridiculously strong with no cards, fairies or gimmicks to juggle, doesn't pay heal tax like WHM or SCH, has high dps and is reasonably easy to play. Unless they nerf it or rework the other healers I'd be confident in it remaining in the top 2 for popularity. AST and SCH have too many gameplay issues for mass appeal.
