Sage suggestions

[Tobias_Azuryon]

Agree on all points, someone just brought it up and I thought that it would be "cool", but you're right. I had thought that it would be similar to Divine Benison/Celestial Intersection in terms of shielding with an OGCD, but I understand your points.

Yeah I normally just let Tauro do the work or I'll sorteria after the Tauro so I can just keep dpsing while burst healing.

If I see the tank going low a lot (like yesterday in the 24 man) from busters I'll [krasis + e.diag] or [zoe + e.diag] just to be on the safe side. If it crits, they're good for a LONG while. If it doesn't, they're still taken care of.

I've kept tanks alive with like 4 vuln stacks at some points. SGE kit's "layering" is super satisfying.

Ah apologies my reading comprehension is apparently garbage and I misunderstood the phrasing.

IN regards to the rest I don't feel like people understand that you don't HAVE To be allergic to GCDs to still do good dps. I'm still usually top dps of healers minus when the other(s) have BiS/Savage Gear, despite using diag and prog. -shrug-

If even a sliver of shield is there or if a little duration is left you can get easy extra heals and I've had plenty of times where I've recovered while solo healing in the 24 man because of Pepsis being a free instant 350 pot heal that can crit.

Aside from Savage (Which this is the first expac I've done savage healing so my experience is admittedly limited) SGE has no issues with its kit in 99% of the content.


Not sure I agree with this take. While yeah if you're under geared it can be really difficult it's not any "more" difficult than SCH's recovery options in the same scenario imo. Sorteria + choles tends to do enough usually, but I also keep up with gear (except for BiS) so maybe that's where my perspective is skewed somewhat?

That's not meant to be a jab but higher ilevel will obviously have an effect on my interactions with healing in general.


Zoe + Aoe Shield or Zoe + Shield while Physis is active is great. I've created some meaty shields in current content there. But again it might be gear related that's skewing my perspective.

*EDITED*

my gear is up to par at least 590 but i dont play the game as much tbh. overall sorry for the mis understanding in my experience trying to keep heals on a dark knight vs the other 3 tanks is a big difference and more tactical, ofc if I use a ast whm for sure it aint an issue as big as sge/sch. whm holy reduces the stress and ast light speed ed and inter spells makes it easier with dark night.

Finally true i do the combo u say for big shields but i admit its mostly or all the time i do that on e diag and not e prog so i confess my guilt there haha as i use kera with phy and ixo to cover after damage so barely do e prog. I still want pepsi to be like dt to spread that huge e diag crit shield. i strictly meld mas crit and det.

I like the whole reverse emergency tactics thing personally. That and because it can crit and be used while moving you can essentially be moving for a mechanic, e prog/diag + Pepsis for burst aoe heals on the move. Super tasty

I hope it aint asking for much but I woud like zoe to be 60 secs instead of 90 and taro 20 seconds cd. 90 and 40 sec seem abit of a gap but just my thoughts. Also incarus horrid landing delay. Make it be like blm/scions tele plz.

Tauro on 20s would be unreasonably strong for single target, though.
The mitigation has 15s duration so you could theoretically keep up almost constant 10% mitigation with Tauro alone. Not to mention similiar skills from other healers are on 40-60s cooldown. Giving only Sage a juicy cooldown reduction while ED, Excog and Tetra keep their cooldown seems highly unfair.
Not that tanks really need that much healing nowadays, but still ...

I can get behind the Zoe cooldown reduction though because GCD heals aren't bread & butter, they're used fairly rarely. It would allow to use it on one other skill between Pneumas if needed. Not something that would make Sage op by any means and give Zoe a more flexible use than "keep for mega lazor pew pew".

Agreed I had to rethink the taro thought that would be abit wee op haha.
