Why are there no multi-hit skills on Sage?

[Allegor]

I guess that's just where opinions differ, I find Kardia to be extremely lacking, not necessarily it's potency but it's utilization as a mechanic.

What does Kardia currently do? It heals a single player for a single instance of 170 potency every time you cast a damage spell and it can be buffed for 4 casts with Soteria, that is literally all the interaction it has with Sage's healing kit.

What people are asking for is to make Kardia a more integral mechanic for the job, so instead of 10 different oGCDs that all "just heal by X potency" you get more options to interact with Kardia as a healing mechanic.

As an example let's say instead of Druochole's flat 600 potency healing you get a multi-hit spell that procs 3-4 instances of Kardia or instead of Ixochole you get an ability that spreads Kardia to the entire party for the next 2-3 attacks you do.

Pretty much this. Kardia is SGE's identity, like cards are to AST or the fairy to SCH, it should be the job's core mechanic, not just a Regen/Embrace clone

Though it’s not like they care about healer identity considering SCH’s core identity of the fairy tactician healer has been reduced down to “eos can totem heal on some skills”
