What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

I see you main GNB. We're going to have to take away everything you have that does damage except for 4 buttons, 1 will be an AoE, another will have a 45-60 second cool down.
As for the rest... the rest will be mitigation, that does the exact same thing but looks different.

Hope you enjoy your new class and join us healers on our way to increase accessibility.

I dunno. I've leveled up every single class to at least 81, and Sage feels to have more button/task variety to me than, say, Paladin, Warrior, Bard or Red Mage. Especially when I'm applying Barriers to anyone I expect to take damage, not just the Tanks.

I do agree with the other Healers, though. Astro is my 2nd favorite healer, but drawing cards and playing cards happens too infrequently to remain fully engaging.

It's nice you feel that way, I've been there before. Stay in that head space, it's the only way to have fun on healer.

It is.

Do you have a particular reason that you disagree?

I edited my original comment.

Nothing new that hasn't been said already in the past few weeks(years).

Edit: In fact some of the most fun I've had in years in this game was back when SGE released and I thought their shields(toxicon) was damage neutral.

Sage is the same 1 button spam at the rest of the healers basically, peak cookie clicker design and bonus point for copying Sch homework "but change it so the teacher doesn't notice" (except it does)

Waiting for people to realize sage has the same amount of dps buttons as Astrologian lmao

Why are you implying that I'm, like, some fresh sprout that hasn't grinded every single job ad nauseum and thus am playing with blissful ignorance? I may not have started back in 2015, but I assure you that my join date does not reflect how long I've been playing the game.

Can't be talking like that SGE is the "DPS healer" bruv.

One thing I wish this game had; talent trees. I wouldn't mind the "increased accessibility", if everything wasn't so bland and boring.

I'm simply respecting the way you're interacting with me by meeting you halfway. Every healer on this forum at one point or another has felt the way you feel.
Leveling jobs doesn't really mean anything in this game, especially when you don't complete any content at or above extreme.
Which is kind of ironic considering any healer that has completed extremes is too good for the balance team.

That would be very cool. Just don't tie damage to utility and everything will be fine.

See, this is a more reasonable statement than simply "That's nice".

I'll add that I actually do occasionally do content at Savage/Extreme. Mostly to fill in for my friends' statics when they need an eighth body. I don't care much for playing it regularly, no matter what the role/class.

I actually still feel like Sage has more button engagement than those classes I mentioned before. Although, I'm admittedly not limiting this to merely DPS options.
