A summary of healer issues

[Laphicet]

Its absolutely to advertise the new job. I played it a little bit and on the first outing my friend had to solo heal the thunder god when I had a delivery to answer

She still wasn't 100% certain on the kit and was rearranging buttons throughout the run but she kept everyone alive like a champ. If someone who barely knows the job can solo heal TGcid despite multiple dumb players that stood in aoes to the tune of 8 stacks of vuln up, I would say that its really strong on those grounds alone

Yeah that seems doable. Another huge advantage SGE has is being front-loaded, so it's easily the strongest healer during leveling content at this point. It's basically an 80 healer at lv70 and mostly gets trait upgrades from 70-90, the few extra skills it gets just make it stronger.. and the traits give it the strongest GCD filler spells, too. Though I still don't see why the skill to give you one addersgall exists. It doesn't really do much and it's not like you need it unless you're doing full uptime memes with the shield ability.

It also seems that extra kit is enough to fool people into thinking it's not just a 1-spam job at the end of the day, based on conversations I had in Heaven on High with some people... one of which was even being a curebot as SGE and constantly trying to fish for addersting procs.

Me neither, Rhizomata is just weird, gaining 1 Addersgall on a 90 sec cooldown just seems like a pointless addition. When you run into a situation where everything goes wrong and you're completely out of oGCD resources this 1 stack isn't gonna save anything.

I'm starting to think we need an ingame message saying "Fishing for Toxikon is BAD! Stop it!" when someone switches to Sage for the first ... I don't know, 20 times?
Because save for one Sage I had while spamming dungeons, everyone else was tunneling hard on spamming EDiagnosis for Toxikon and using Toxikon for dps. Even after the tank died in a medium pull (DRK, no insane selfheal unfortunately) and someone suggested the oGCDs the replies were "but shield is instant and I get procs, it's better".
And from the amount of people in the forum argueing for it or at least falling into the trap aswell, it seems incredibly common to let oGCDs sit unused/ barely used while spamming EDiagnosis and saying Sage is weak.
