I wonder how many sages are just scholars that will move back when sage isn't the new shiny.

Considering its the most pug friendly of the two, the best at free healing of the two, the best performer in dungeons and the one with the most involved "rotation" there thanks to the downtime between pulls + a lot of its attacks being AoE and how players can reach it without having to play a dps I woudn't be surprised if it stays consistently more populated than Sch unless Sch gets a rework or something

I think many are WHM's.

I never played SCH. I didn't like it and went between WHM and AST in ShB. In Endwalker Sage is my healer main. It's simply far better than WHM.

Sage popularity skyrocketed at launch because it was the new shiny. Then it dropped and WHM became the most popular healer even in Savage as SCH's went back to their main, SCH being very strong this expansion. But then SGE picked up again and became more popular in Savage while WHM started dropping off.

It's likely to stay that way until they fix WHM.
