Healers need an overhaul

Not gonna lie I was a tad bit disappointed with how SGE was basically just the same with an extra ogcd button.
I was hoping it'd be a bit more involved DPS-wise.

But, but, SGE's version of Assize has CAST TIME! Also they have 1! extra DPS button! (Phlegma) And...and... Toxicon happens more often than Blood Lilies!

I know you're joking but I can't help feel as though this is the actual mentality SE has and it hurts.

I think the worst part about Sage is that they gave it a system to let it go full bore with DPS actions in Eukrasia, and then Eukrasia is just an extra button you press when applying your DoT. Why isn't the job focused around Eukrasia? Why give it a gauge element at all if it's just an extra step for 2 heals you never want to hit outside of downtime and then your DoT? They also failed to do anything interesting with Toxicon, Phlegma is just a GCD Assize clone, and Pneuma is just bland. No amount of "dude it's another button that deals the same damage as Dosis!" buttons they add will make this job interesting. You came out with Gunbreaker in ShB. Why not make SGE an actual "DPS focused healer" and then just say "if you don't like it, play any of the other healers" if people complain?

It's hilarious to me how much Yoshida was saying "uh we've made Sage for those high skilled players who want a more DPS focused healer, please check it out in Endwalker" in all the interviews and live letters leading up to 6.0, and then this is what we got. Seriously, do these developers play their own game? Even SCH is more DPS focused than SGE lmao
