Combat system is beyond saving.

^SGE can also go in the pile of “jobs that actively play themselves and you physically cannot optimise anything on the job even if you want to”

Yeah haha, ast's my healer main so going from that to sage really jarring. Square enix thinks that OGCDs can always make up for poor job design. It's not about throwing OGCDs at every job, it should be more about what OGCD's purpose. Ast's cards have good value because no other healer does something like that. Sage's OGCDs are nothing special besides the flashy aoe beam thing.

It’s also just that SGE’s oGCD’s are actively hostile to the healer meta given it has the highest throughput of any healer by a wide wide margin and it’s a shield healer

You can’t optimise it if you try and the only way to surpass it in raw healing is to be a SCH who pretends energy drain doesn’t exist; also a shield healer

What are the regen healers even doing

It's also really bizarre when you realize Sage has a barely any spells and most of their hotbar is comprised of OGCDs. Making more GCDs necessary wouldn't help Sage because it doesn't have GCD healing.

Of your 10 GCD actions:
- Egeiro is a raise.
- Esuna is barely relevant.
- Dyskrasia II has no function in single target/Dosis has no function in AOE
- Toxikon has basically no function at all.
- Pneuma has a 2 minute cooldown.

Your casting options are literally designed to be stunted.
