SGE just wins out over SCH because SCH is clunky, SCH still dominates SGE in AOE shields even with the holos changes because of spreadlo and because recitation can force adlo to crit while SGE just kinda hopes that their shields crit, spreadlo on the tank only using protaction is stronger than Zoe e prognosis + holos which is more CD costly for the SGE than it is the SCH and SCH also has the capacity to buff it further with dissipation and fey illumination

SCH also has more utility, totem healing is a godsend in savage, expedient is probably the one true support skill left in the game (though I’d argue curing waltz also fits the bill), eos is better at passive party healing than kardia swapping and chain stagmentation is almost as strong a buff as divination and requires 0 setup

SGE being more popular despite having functionally no upsides over SCH (about the only one is it’s healing is free and it has a very slightly stronger mana economy) is pretty much the same as why WHM is more played than AST despite being objectively worse, and that’s people don’t really love clunky jobs and when all healers feel the same anyway the differences in utility just don’t feel worth it

I didnt say anything about E prog+ zoe at all? I said kera+physis 2 + holos combine is enough migitation + powerful hot in one , E crit Diag is stronger than crit alco since zoe is 50% increase heal and illum and dissipate = only 30% (am talking single shield aspect not aoe ) and many people say anyways who needs shields if the mech wont kill you? its actually good that sages shields are weaker cause it actually makes challenges abit more hetic which is what everyone gripe tends to be that content is too easy outside of ultimate. Also please remember there is pani and hani which can be stacked too if needed and the fact they do a big burst heal similar to the whm bell spell. When sch die they waste tons of dps time having to summon the fairy again and oh boy if aether flow is on cd gl on mana , a dead sage still will regen mana easy since addergall still charges on death and unlike sch sage is awarded their mp back easier . Kardia is alot more useful and powerful if soteria is added increasing kardia proc heals and you cna even add krasis as well that affects all heal actions. Abit off topic the nurse for anyone that knows or play dead by daylight is S tier yet she is the less used killer in the game, its kinda like that with scholar, sometimes its simply not about being powerful in things that will make people play.
