Openly admitting to ignoring the players

[Roeshel]

Sage is not a pinnacle of great design. It has a few dps cd's, but you'll largely be spamming one button. It's toolkit isn't new and innovative, it's gauge heals are variations of SCH's aether heals, even down to having the same cooldown. It has the usual medica and cure I clone along with some cooldowns that are essentially Whispering dawn and Fey Blessing clones. It's heal buff is like a targeted fairy embrace.

Sage is not a major improvement on heal design, it's a tiny step in the right direction and an improvement on SCH but that's about it. Look forward to another expansion of 1, 1, 1, 1, 1.

Sage has 4 different AoEs on GCD which makes them the most interesting healer for dungeons. I never get why most people are taking into consideration only raids that are target dummies with mechanics. I had already done more than 1000 dungeon runs before even having a savage or extreme trial unlocked. And despite all of the mechanics and raidwides I still think that big dungeons pulls are more interesting when it comes to playing a healer. I really want the gates to be removed from the EW dungeons.

There are also 4 other spells yet to be revealed. One or more of them potentially being yet another damaging spell.

Edit:
The missing spells are actually 5. One of them is surely an attacking spell, we saw it in the trailer and the benchmark
