Healers need an overhaul

[Silverbane]

I wasn’t aware that I told the developers to make me more of a damage dealer than a healer.

SE didn't make you anything. They made a Sage class that, by your account, is more a damage dealer than a healer.
And you choose to run a Sage.

To reiterate what I said before: I enjoy running a Sage, regardless of how people categorize the class.
And I enjoy it more than I did WHM, which seems more like the "pure healer" you want to play.
Never expected that, BTW: I outleveled the MSQs so I picked up Sage just to "not waste the XP" from the MSQs.
Glad I did.
