The more I think about it the less I understand.

My first assumption was “to heal”, however there’s very few occasions where an ogcd will not do or even be overkill. Except for a few back to back raidwides often enough the natural regeneration is sufficient.

My next thought was “to contribute damage and help out where necessary”, yet the damage rotation is frankly dull and unengaging, amounting to little more than dot and filler.

I briefly considered that it could be a support role before remembering white mage and sage don’t have any buffs beyond the 1% role bonus.

I’m currently on the theory that they’re designed for a game that no longer exists and yet they never saw, but it’s not like people complained about the stormblood healers that much, is it?
