A summary of healer issues

[Vivix]

I don't even like shield healers but you better believe I will be playing sage so I have more than 2 buttons to press while doing the MSQ.

Bad news, your rotation is the same as every other healer, in spite of Yoshi's claims of it being DPS-focused.

EukrasiaDosis>Phlegma>Dosis*10>EukrasiaDosis>Dosis*5>Phlegma>dosis*4>EukrasiaDosis>Dosis*11>EukrasiaDosis>Phlegma>Dosis*10>EukrasiaDosis>Dosis*5>Phlegma>dosis*4>EukrasiaDosis>Dosis*11>Repeat ad infinitum and shove your 120sCD in place of a dosis when you need to get the heals from it as it's not a gain over Dosis.

It's almost the same as WHM except Phlegma is on the GCD while Assize is on the OGCD. This isn't "an extra button" at all, it's a OGCD shoved onto the GCD instead of part of a basic combo or some other form of rotational use.

More or less, yeah - there are a few things that could fix this; buffing toxikon to make it desirable, making Phlegma an OGCD, and improving Pneuma in literally any way.

Sadly, we are likely to go live with the potencies as presented in the media tour, I'd certainly hope not, but small changes like those would be very welcome.
