if Sage healing is tied to its DPS, so many healers who don't DPS wont understand its KIT. I am All for DPSing as a healer, but i don't see the majority on board. i counted 6 DPS spells from the live letter and 1 DPS spell from the Endwalker trailer, 7 in total. I hope they dont change this but they will, if enough people say healers should heal more than DPS and that they feel uncomfortable with their healing tied to DPS. then they will change it, making the job feel boring and stale.

I am Happy SE is taking a chance with Sage because Damage is mitigations and if the jobs around you receive heals as you DPS then its a plus. I know Sage will be the healer for me because I love shield healing, NOCT AST is my main, SCH was my main till SE Nerfed the damage to the ground and nerfed my spread shields, just to allow my clunky pet to stack its baby shields with me.
