Latest Official Developer Statements About Healer DPS?

[Absurdity]

Can we please stop with this misconception that Sage is dps focused healer? It's complete nonsense.

Let's go through Sage's dps skills: Eukrasian Dosis (the DoT), Dosis, Phlegma (every 40 seconds), Toxicon (a movement tool), Dyskrasia (AoE), Pneuma (every 120 seconds).
Now let's check White Mage, the stereotypical healer's healer: Dia (the DoT), Glare, Assize (every 40 seconds), Holy (AoE), Afflatus Misery (technically every 60 seconds).

Sage has a whopping 1 extra dps skill and it is just a movement tool. Pneuma does damage but since it's the same as Dosis you will never use it for dps, it's simply a GCD heal that isn't a dps loss.
While Afflatus Misery seems to just exist to make up for the dps loss from using Lily spells it however can actually be a dps gain if the fight has downtime in which you can spend lilies.

Sage is not the "DPS healer™", it's just the healer that loses out on free healing when they're not spamming their Glare equivalent. It's basically SCH, but your fairy does nothing if you're not casting Dosis.
