SGE was designed to be the "dpsing healer" but sadly failed at it.

I mean SGE is drowning in so many free heals that you honestly could do basically any content with no kardia

It's not even the free heals, it's the fact that bosses hit tanks like wet noodles. Sometimes I forget Kardia in Savage, realize halfway through the fight when the tank is dipping a bit low, switch it on and pop Soteria and still don't need to go near any single target heals.

Kardia itself is extremely strong. It can easily reach up to about half a million tank healing on either part 1 or 2 of P4S for me. That's about 37 Druochole or just over 11 minutes worth of Addersgall generation. The reason it's not relevant is tanks just don't take real damage. I barely even need Haima this tier. Boss autos tickle.

Pretty much as above. Go back a few expansions and maintaining good regen uptime was the way to go. Now it’s a waste of a GCD more often than not =/

Bosses spend too much time casting and don’t hit hard enough on the occasions when they aren’t.

I constantly run into mana issues on SGE because I forget to fire off useless Druocholes so as not to cap Addersgall and get back that MP.

Really they could have just given us a trait that increases MP regeneration while Adders is full. Firing off overheal Druo's for mana in faceroll content is hardly engaging gameplay.

I remember almost surviving the 30 debuff after the tankbuster on Zodiark with just my Holmgang because of how much casting he does. I think we need more Ultima Weapon unreals where the boss just continuously Autos you and you really notice the damage you are taking as a tank.

So remove the one thing Sage has to pay attention to..?

If we don't do it, SE will eventually. I'm surprised they haven't just removed MP at this point considering how superficial a resource it even is.

Paying attention on a healer? That's probably an oversight...

Are we seriously suggesting a mana management system of throwing out random overheal Druochole's every so often is good design because you have to pay attention to it? Keep in mind you only have to "pay attention" in faceroll content where you have nothing to heal and even if you run out of mana there ...it doesn't matter because it's faceroll content.

I'll never understand how the forums cling to rubbish design the devs give us simply because it exists. No, get rid of it and make it passive. Stop using clunky, bad game design to pretend you're a good player handling a skill check.

Because your solution is to take the slightest bit of thought and attention that goes into the gameplay before suggesting anything of substance to replace it. What the heck does SGE have except remembering not to overcap on addersgall forever? AST has cards, SCH has ED and a semblance of heal-skill priority, WHM want to have afflatus misery for party bursts. What bare minimum does SGE have without a little bit of MP management? Prioritizing an abundant resource is barely that.
