Sage: Media Tour Feedback

SE please review the potencies of Toxicon and Pneuma
With the new trait buffing Dosis 3 to 360 potency, that puts Toxicon and Pneuma at small DPS loss
IMO, it would best to ensure all 3 of them remain the same potency to ensure that min/max gameplay doesn't create unnecessary stress

sage mains really will just freak out at the first sign of opportunity cost huh

Both dots stack, this with Kardia means more pew pew for us. SAGE is winning.

I mean if they were free in the previous expansion why not in the following? It's pretty obvious that is a SE oversight and in the case of toxikon the least thing that mechanic needs is less incentives to use it

I think the cooldown of Philosophia should be reduced, because frankly the cooldown is too long to make Kardia worthwhile even if you buff Soteria alone. There isn't enough interplay into Kardia actions and ways to increase the healing spike when doing damage. Assuming the damage profile is still based largely on damage spikes like the last couple of expansions.

Toxicon needs to both have a potency buff and change the way it's being generated because it's becoming super underutilized in the current state to have any meaningful impact.
Pneuma should really change in design - increase the DPS potency and make it into 2-part follow-up skill to utilize the healing aspect of the skill. Like how WHM's Temperance have Divine Caress and AST has the inverse Divination + Oracle. A 2-part follow up.

I like the DoT stacking on Eukrasian Dykrasia. I'm happy with the Psyche skill - impactful although a bit boring for just a regular oGCD that doesn't affect Kardia. I'll have to play Dawntrail to tell, but it feels like SGE might struggle to keep up with the other healers in terms of parity since this design hinges heavily on SGE being able to get the full value of Philosophia for their lv 100 skill (though I'm most likely overthinking it). Does anyone know if kardia is affected by healing magic potency? I can't tell because Kardia is applied by an ability rather than by a spell.

Do I smell sage main jealousy?

Why is Sage somehow exempt from this 2-minute DoT or Burst nonsense? Every other healer gets some flashy burst option that is locked behind a 2 minute CD... and Sage gets a 60 second Burst AoE and 2 DoTs in their standard DPS rotation. That's something the SCH community has been begging for since it was removed in SHB.

Healer 2min CD should be brought down to 1min cd like tanks. Screw the 2min meta for healers, let us have our big thing like tanks.

Yes sage mains like to do things other 1-1-1 you know, like what's been heavily criticized for years... Also opportunity cost my a**, toxikon requires stacks, and pneuma is a gcd. It's ruin 2 which is the odd one instead.
