4 Paired Threads: SGE - How do you feel about it?

[ASkellington]

Finally ill say I bet if it was reversed where sage was doing what sch do and sch was doing what sge is doing, I bet people will be bashing sch and what not. Everyone is entitled to thier opinions but people act as if sage aint nothing yet they are the welcome most used healers in ANY content and the most play job while the favorite sch is the less played. Something is clearly wrong if everyone fav sch is the less played healer.

SCH after SGE is my least played healer. I'll post why in its section. Its not my favorite that goes to AST. But to answer that, yes I would. I bash on AST for not being different enough from WHM. Why would a reverse of SGE and SCH change that. In fact, I'd be just as pissed because "oh finally we get a pet healer" and it barely does anything with the pet. That argument makes no sense to me.

Second, SGE's popularity doesn't mean anything to me. Its popular, sure. But the reasons why aren't the greatest ones - its less clunkier than SCH (no fairy issues), its faster than SCH (its more instant casts and oGCDs), and its easier to pick up and play. Isolated on its own, that's fine, but again, see my first post about it.

People wanted a completely NEW healer. SGE isn't a completely new healer. Most of what it has we've seen on SCH just better updated.

I think you missed the parts where I said in the first post that I wanted them to do more with the idea of Pepsis and Kardia. If they had done so, I'd be fine with SGE because it wouldn't feel the same as SCH then. The fact is, it doesn't. And until it does, I am going to continue to call SGE a waste of potential, a missed oppertunity, and hestitently a waste of dev time.
