Is there any thought that goes into Sage using Kardion on themself?

[Brownondorf]

Or are they just as stupid as I think they are? Is Kardion on themselves really the play?

yes there's a reason.
- If your Kardia partner or yourself die, you have to reapply the kardia every time unlike in PvE.
- everyone has self heal + guard
- the healing from kardia is quite small, 2k per hit
- SGE has 48k HP and need the survivability from it's own kardia's shields

I will gladly put my kardia on the tank or a melee if they fix it and give a little bit more hp to SGE, but as of now, consider SGE to be a green dps.
