Actual Footage of FFXIV Healer Gamplay

[Reinhardt_Azureheim]

Its a deliberate choise. The moment sage does significantly more dps than other healers. It will become the base healer for all savages unless sage gets such low healing it simply isnt capable of doing even the basic healing requirements.

Its very unhealthy for balance if sage would do significantly more damage.

Honestly, I don't get where Sage got the "DPS Healer" label from in the first place.

When I read the initial explanation how SGE plays I thought "SCH but Disciple Priest kind of", which indirectly means healing from doing damage. I believe this and "doing the most damage" is what many seemed to have mixed up and now we are somehow looking at SGE in disgust for not being the "DPS of healers" some may have envisioned.
