SGE/RPR feedback thread crosspost

As someone who has done what OP asks (Ex, Savage and Ultimate) as Sage my opinion is that the job feels like a bad joke from SE, something without any kind of care or thought behind it, but let me explain myself.

When we get a new job we have some expectations like the job having unique and developed mechanics, bringing something new to the table and in sage's case we were told that it would be a healer that uses it dps to heal and something for the healers that want a more offensive approach (by yoshi-p himself in Mr Happy's interview). We got none of that:

-Sage's Addersgall and its skills are a copy of Sch's Aetherflow, brings absolutely nothing new to the table and is not unique by any mean, same thing when talking about GCD heals.

-Eukrasia barely has any meaningful interaction with the kit, its a very underdeveloped mechanic.

-The dps-to-heal identity is only shown in 2 skills kardia and pneuma, its extremely underdeveloped and barely helps the job to differentiate from Sch

-Addersting is really bland and due to toxikon's nature it sees a very limited use in fights. Its one of the only job mechanics that I can remember that is more interesting in dungeons than anywhere else

-The dps rotation... Its a post shb healer rotation which is not sufficient for the content of the game let alone for a job that is supposed to appeal those who want a more offensive approach.

The job fails to develop a unique identity nor separate itself from Sch's shadow, the very few interesting things it has are all either on a 2m cd or barely used at all in general content. I think its a job that shows how SE is completely out of touch with healers because no dev with minimal healer experience would have greenlighted this.

And the worst part is that the job concept has potential to become something unique but I can't see SE using that potential. I sincerely hope that they prove me wrong in DT.
