Sage

[BooPoo]

So I am seeing things that make me a little excited to see what happens. But until I see it in action, see how everything works in practice and maybe get to play it, I can't shake that cautiousness.

As much as I am excited for Sage's kit, I'm also cautiously skeptical about healer designs above 6.0. Now they have acknowledged Green DPS, what are they going to do with the other 3 jobs to make them balanced and varied at the same time?

Imo SE should advance the other 3 healers "a bit" towards Sage's design and strike for a 50/50 heal/DPS balance. Gimmicks that link the healing skills with damage skills are great designs.

If they revert Sage in 7.0 back to spamming 1 DPS skill along with the rest of the healers I'll be extremely disappointed. If they abandon the Green DPS design and make healers spend 90% of their time healing instead, that's an immediate uninstall for me.

Is Sage not spamming 1 DPS skill? I guess we have a melee skill every ~45 seconds (Phlegma) but I don't think that's enough to say we're not spamming 1 DPS skill? Unless you're including Toxikon but that's just basically a ruin 2 equivalent (but gauge based) so it's super super situational since it's the same potency as our filler? So is that big laser beam that comes with a heal (since it's the same potency as filler).... And another healer is getting a similar skill to that according to the unmentionable thing.. Seems to be as boring as the other healers o.o

It's more uh "dps focused", I guess? But not in a 'complex' way (maybe if we're referring to someone who mainly uses the basic GCD skills and isn't used to making use of their full toolkit?) . We have to use our DPS skills for the 'partner' heal thing and honestly because of that it looks like we're gonna be spamming 1 DPS skill more than the rest?
