Temporary SGE tooltips

[Sebazy]

The only possibly justification is that Sage has to target their healing whereas Eos just heals whoever she feels like healing, but I'm sure a lot of people would argue that makes it even better yet. You used to be able to manually Embrace people, and it was removed. It's one of the things Scholars have been asking for the return of for a long time.

I can confirm that this is absolutely a positive with the only caveat being on if Sadge has a recast delay on switching it's healing target (I can't remember off hand, not paid a huge amount of attention to it).

The lengths my fellow prog healers and myself went to to focus our fairies' embraces on the tanks would attest to this. I've mentioned it before but we've used gamepad emulation, keyboard macros, even pedals from steering wheels to bombard poor Eos with ceaseless embrace requests over the years and IMHO it was a bit of a shame when ShB took that away.

The naming conventions of the terms seems pretty interesting. While potencies and tooltips are still up in the air, based on the translations so far... Sage's skill names sounds like they are based on ancient medieval physiology to determine a person's disposition and health. This system of medicine was called "Humorism" and was adopted by the ancient Greek. The idea was that these humors correlate to the state of the human body. An imbalance could result in a sign of illness and affect behavioral patterns.

The Greek Humorism revolves around the 4 humors (fluids) of the body: blood, phlegm, choler (yellow bile), and melancholy (black bile). A combination of these determines a person's Complexion or temperament.

Cardia = Refers to the heart
Haima (oGCD not shown in tooltip) = Blood in Greek, more referred to as Hemoglobin today. Used in conjunction with Cardia... means Sage is pumping blood to the heart! :O
Phlegma = One of the 4 humors of medieval physiology, thought to cause Sluggishness / apathy
Dosis = Dose.
Soteria = Greek for goddess of the spirit and safety /deliverance from harm.
Physis = Growth or change in nature.
Pneuma = Vital Spirit /soul (Lifeforce) of a person
Prognosis = outcome of a disease / ailment
Diagnosis = Identification of disease / ailment by examining symptoms
Eucrasia - Normal state of health / physical well being
Dyscrasia - Abnormal state of health / disordered bodily state

The healing gauge skills uses a suffix of -chole in their naming conventions, which is also referring to one of the 4 humors of the body.

So Sage's basically a doctor with scientific tools and keeping you healthy using ancient medieval physiology as the foundation of their aetheric treatment. XD

I JUST realized Eucrasia is a much more functional Emergency Tactics. Can someone explain to me why Sage gets to have instant cast shields but not Scholar?

Because they had instant cast shields in AST that got taken away and given to Sage if I had to guess.

Rather than functional Emergency Tactic, I actually seen it being a direct copy of AST’s Nocturnal Sect because what it does is adding a shield & it looked more like a stance than one-time buff.

Which would only make sense because they are removing nocturnal sect from AST after all?

[ToodlesElNoodles]

It’s 100% a one-time buff that modifies the next move. You can see it in the job action trailer as it has its own UI to indicate when Eukrasia is active or not and it disappears after you use Dosis, Diagnosis, or Prognosis.

It’s a reversal of Emergency Tactics. Emergency Tactics converts your next heal spell from a heal/shield into a heal. Eukrasia converts your next heal into a heal/shield or your next nuke into a DoT.

But I do agree that SGE’s GCD style is closer to Noct AST than SCH.

[AnotherPerson]

SGE's shield GCD is closer, but not exactly the same.
Eucrasia takes 1 sec to recast, and then 1.5 sec recast on the actual Diagnosis. For AST's Noct Aspected Benefic, it's instant from the beginning, which allows 2 oGCDs to be weaved in. SGE's GCD allows one because you can't fit an oGCD in Eucrasia's 1 sec recast with it's 0.7 sec animation lock. You can fit one in Eucrasia Diagnosis though since it's 1.5 sec recast, but you also have to note because there's around a ~1.7 sec to 2 secs before your heal/shield registers on the player due to animation lock, it's like an invisible cast timer.
