    After getting past the brutal solo duty, I'm finding my opinion of Sage has somewhat changed. I still feel the job is overly busy for a healer. However, it's not underpowered. Sage is fully capable healing job. It's just different.

    I found the key to playing a Sage is to play it like the Scholar you always wanted to play. Without the fairy, of course. Sorry, Eos.

    I'd agree it's busy but it's "shield" which is what is supposed to be the core of it's gameplay is extremely weak.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    That how I feel about Astrologian. The difference for me is everything a Sage does seems to directly relate to something tangible for them making for smooth intuitive gameplay. Astrologion is always interrupting itself with a wholly unrelated side game of card management.
