I love summoner now its eo purrfect havent rried others yet
Been playing through as Monk, got it at 88.
Took me some time to get used to it, as I WAS used to the old system and now this is new so that took some adjustment.
I love not having to move around so much, I like the sense of building towards your finisher, and in the heat of a boss battle not having to try to remember where I need to be for what positional, while also dealing with the boss mechanics. Maybe it's more simple, but its a lot more fun than it's been in years.

I like sage quite a lot. But something about it puzzles me via the tone of the developers: A lot of the changes that took place in the past was under the guise of "making the job easier to play".. for my experience AST got alot of this. Did I find old AST hard to play? No I really enjoyed how it made me think faster on my feet. It kept me really engaged. I get a lot of the same feelings from Sage. Which I am LOVING but I worry about the what's to come with Sage down the road when they (as they do) rework it later (next expac etc)
I also foresee it being a hot bed for some of our more slow minded adventures to be really bad at the job. (Yes I know that's unavoidable but hopefully I convey my thoughts correctly) A lot like those DRKs in heavensward that zero idea what a lot of their abilities did and how to correctly use it. I'm sure we've all met those kind. The paper doll ones. A few of my old FC mates were guilty of this. I love them but man did they make me want to drink as a healer.
I've been enjoying summoner a lot for leveling and trust dungeons. Very flashy and has a nice flow
I haven't made a whole lot of progress with sage but it's fun from what i've done. Not a huge deviation from the norm, but it's a new healer after all these years and i enjoy healing.
Got my Reaper to 90 yesterday and it is, without a doubt, my favorite dps. It's extremely fun once you get the rotation down.
Though sometimes I go so unga bunga in Enshroud that I forget to hit Communio for the last attack... Probably doesn't help that Communio is level 90 but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Having fun leveling Sage. I enjoy the Eukrasia mechanic more than I thought I would, and I hope they expand on it in the future.


I want to love the new summoner, but right now it's not my favorite. I actually loved the old rotation so this new one isn't as... fun? )It's definitely flashy but I enjoyed how it worked before. I do think it's mostly just me being resistant to change though so it'll warm up on me.
On the other hand, sage is really enjoyable to me! It's a lot of the things I already liked about ffxiv healing, and it kinda reminds me of the best parts of disc priest from WoW. I enjoy leveling it and look forward to maining it.
