Why are there no multi-hit skills on Sage?

I agree the Faerie is lackluster. It used to do more but they removed stuff, chiefly Embrace is far weaker, Selene's actions are all gone, and you can't command the Faerie who to heal and while you're casting, but secondarily you can't deploy from her, have get draw aggro and Fey Union depends on your range to the target, not your Faerie's for some reason.

I also think that their shield/pure healer split is silly, especially because SGE+SCH often works way better than pure+shield, and especially better than WHM+AST currently.

But, the Faerie being boring doesn't mean that Kardia has to be. Just the fact that the comparison between the two is so readily drawn is evidence that the jobs are too similar.

SGE and SCH (and really, all healers) should be in a state that an interesting idea on one doesn't mean that another needs or gets it too.

I'm convinced that if all the healers were designed for the first time in EW, WHM wouldn't have a stun on Holy, Cure III, free cure, damage on Assize, Thin Air or direct Dia damage, SCH wouldn't have Catalyze, Deployment Tactics, Chain Strategem, Dissipation or Energy Drain, AST wouldn't have any cards at all (probably would have something like Divination), Enhanced Benefic II, Neutral Sect would not apply shields and Collective wouldn't be channeled, and SGE certainly wouldn't have Enhanced Eukrasian Diagnosis.
