Rework sage

[Semirhage]

is simply the BLM of healers whose selfish DPS is several steps above the other healers.

Which is further insult to injury for WHM, whose identity is now "zero utility, but is still outdamaged by the other zero-utility healer, because lol get rek'd WHM your only identity is mediocrity".

WHM is meant to be a part of that "the other healers who have utility worth the exchange of offense." I've said many many times the entire healing role needs an overhaul which does include WHM. I only bring up SGE here because it's a SGE conversation.

I just don't feel like I need to explain the nuance of every change I want to see for every healer every time.

EDIT: To expand on this, I've mentioned before that I like the idea of WHM having the ability to instant cast multiple raises back-to-back at reduced MP costs, which is quite a handy form of utility. My raid group would certainly appreciate having that and we do have a WHM, for example. Yes it's very prog-focused utility, but most players are not speed clearers. Even having cleared P7S multiple times, our group still fucks up Famine's Harvest from time-to-time, where being able to get 2-4 people up really fast would save the need of healer LB3.

I also think, seeing as Determination has been buffed recently, that WHM could appreciate a party Det buff. It may not be as powerful as flat damage or crit, but WHM can stay ahead of AST and SCH in personal damage, gain some offensive support with a Det buff, and Det also increases healing output slightly which falls in line with WHM's identity as a nifty bonus.

If debuffs ever actually become a thing that happens, I think a party esuna cooldown fits WHM better than with SCH, and SCH's Expedient is already such a powerful piece of utility. That of course means esuna needs to be something that is helpful.
