the impreg pull

What the fuck is that thumbnail 0-0;

Great thumbnail!

you guys are insane holy wp

Oh damn was that rescue at 7:40ish for uptime?

Liked the strats.... but jfc that thumbnail... 😆

Holy crap! Those LB strats! Nice run!

Just how do you capture every fiend.

who did you get that many shining gems.

Why are they CONSTANTLY f***ing with this job mechanics? Learn to leave well enough alone SE! Don't add more jobs when you can't even balance what you already have.

Now I've been main SCH since ARR, so I think I know what I'm talking about. That said, while the new changes are "good," they're not at all what the class needed. It's already got plenty of mitigation and healing and I'm confident in saying it can carry the healing for any raid party solo. The problem is that the job does not synergize with any of the other healers (including itself) and the kit is so bloated that you're forced to press extra buttons to achieve the same results that SGE can get for less. For example, Yoshi said during one of the live letters that they wanted SCH to be able to lean more into their direct heals, yet dissipation cannot be used while Seraphism is in effect Likewise, none of the pet skills can be used while dissipation is in effect. You may say Seraphism is good and it is, but perhaps a bit too good at hat it does. You effectively become a healing/barrier powerhouse That's not really a bad thing but you do SOOOOO much over healing it's crazy. Especially when some of that could have gone into potential DPS instead.

Scholar is too covoluted for its own good. Lack of potent healing options for pulls as you are forced to watch that shield you gave your tank be eaten only miliseconds after getting it, lustrate? Nah not potent enough to keep the tank alive in a w2w, you wont always have recitation and emergency to use since they are ogcds fey blessing and whispering dawn are dogshit, and fey illumination barely does anything to your already shitty heals

hey what macros are you using

hey what macros are you using?

why cant healers just be healers, 20% dps requirement is easy to manage as a healer, and having a set rotation is dumb for healer.

I love the way you break things down....idk if you have already but can you do a updated video of the Sage job now that DT is out? I desperately need help 🤣

Tank main swapping to healer to fit into a new group. I've always loved your content but actually studying these clears now for a better idea of how to tackle this fight as SCH. I notice you have a few different macros for certain skills. Do you detail which macros you use anywhere? The handiest one seems to be for Sacred Soil. I'm guess this is just a macro targeted on the boss? I'm a controller player so shortcuts such as those could help me with getting certain skills off a bit more efficiently.

I have really big problems learning and playing Healer. I really dont know what to do anymore, watched many ressources, vids etc. but I can never play like an average healer. When I already see the fundamentals of healing and I see spreadsheets, my brain dies. Im that kind of person that can only play easy classes, and even that not good. I just dont understand how I can improve after trying to learn for years :(

Viviane Well

Thank you, appreciate the video. This helped me

I've been doing poorly in this fight "parse" wise. Granted my uptime isn't the greatest, actually based on fflogs its one of the worst % grey tiers. But watching you SCH plays, I've been trying to see where to improve. But like every lariat or dive scares me, cause even with my shield mitigations, everyone's hp drops below 40% or lower. I've been trying to use Energy Drain a lot more but find myself having to save Aether stacks for heals/mit. Wish I could play like you do XD.

Been playing Sage for a year now. Last night I had a DPS try to tell me "you're playing the job wrong." Bruh, first of all, we're in Prae and you didn't die even once. I understand if you're doing ultimate content you need to follow a strict rotation, but it's a roulette. Chill. 😄

this shot caller is 10/10

So now it's just a monotonous 2 cards for DPS, 4 cards for tank with no excitement nor rng. Cool All they had to do was add these different effects ontop of the damage boost but make it so that only Balance and Arrow can give 6% to melee and ranged respectively while the rest give 3% with added bonuses. Also wtf am I going to do with 10% single target increased healing? Make that shit an instant heal! Make Bole give 20% dmg mit. Ewer gives both regen and mana regen. Spire is actually fine a shield is great. Let us keep Astrodyne and boom! There is your AST rework with added flavors for different cards. Because using your utility cards will give you three benefits, a seal for astrodyne like before, a small damage increased, and a good defensive. Could be lazy and spam this all on the tank like right now or maximize dps by giving it to the dps with odd number burst windows like those nins/sam. Could just use it defensively on a teammate thats struggling and you wouldnt feel like it'd be a waste. All while still having that same element of rng and thinking on your toes that defined AST. For Minor Arcana, why not just make it so that you can only use it when you have Astrodyne active? Depending on if your 3 seals are more Astral or Umbral leaning, you'd get Lord or Lady respectively. So you'd kinda have a small control of what you're going to get since you can still redraw cards

Sorry you had to carry Rin the entire tier

sch is janky because it reflects the erratic emotional and mental state of college students

Thank you for the video, my sage could not keep up on healing and i was doing it all wrong, E diagnisis does very well. Your video filled in many spots i was missing Thank you for your time

😭

As someone who mained ast for a couple expansions. I hate these changes. 1 dps card and 2 tank cards each draw. I hate it so much

still coping and sad no WHM video..... =(

honestly the most difficult part for me to grasping Sage has been that every single ability seems to be a healing and mit ability. knowing which one to use when and why has been what's held me back from using it. I'm gonna try the stuff you mentioned in this video, I appreciate having some sequence of things to do even if your pronunciation of the skills made me want to die inside 🤣

why would you use kera noob L guide, L bozo wrong skill L sage, use Taurochole not Kera L weak sage parse W W W W W WW

Thanks for the Pov, you taught me how to shield here :3

Another fellow Momo. o/ Good stuff!

Disclaimer: my personal opinion. I wish that Energy drain was removed and Baneful impaction replacing energy drain as an aetherflow spender. To balance it out, maybe reduce the uptime from 15 to 10 seconds, or nerf the Potency slightly down to like 120 or even 100 per tick, and it would be a way better and more fun way of spending Aetherflow, while having the option to uptime the Debuff on single target, or having more options on when to use it, like in Dungeons or any content where you deal with a good chunk of Mobs. For how its in the game right now, it doesnt make a lot of sense to me, if it was a very strong single target debuff, then obviously it would be well reserved for things like Bosses or strong Mobs where you could throw it on, but its an AOE debuff ability, locked behind a 2 minute single target debuff, which is just badly designed in my opinion.

So is the main issue that Philosophia is underwhelming?

Love your videos, but still waiting on that WHM analysis. I think this is two DT videos now where you've said the next healer to look at is WHM and that's then.... 😅

Recit+adlo on every pull in a dungeon is questionable if the group DPS is high. Sometimes things move in just under a minute per pull. That being said with a swift cast, you can weave it in late.

Hey American Players. Where IS for Venom spread / Stack the Position for Healers, Tanks, melees, Ranges? You have different Marks than Europe. Our NE has a yellow 2. You have a Red 1. Please Tell me. In Europe ITS NW MT And R1, NE OT And R2 SW H1 And M1, SE H2 And M2

Hi, sorry what do you mean by Celestial Opposition being one of the skills that need to be planned for optimal use? I generally use it as an immediate placeholder for a big raidwide if I don't have star or horoscope up, then I follow it with Helios. What would be a better way to utilise it please? (Pre-planned-wise I mean. Hope this question makes sense😅)

as a filth casual i kinda like it.

I'm still upset that philosophia, SGE's "aoe kardia" is a big cooldown rather than their go-to aoe heal (speaking of job identity, not potencies)

Damage clears content. Not single target ogcd shields and regens. We had it all now we have nothing.

So, I started playing in HW, and I was an Omni-Healer by the end of SB, though I mostly played WHM and considered that to be my main. I then proceeded to main WHM all the way to the end of ShB. In Endwalker, they came out with M-Viera and Sage, and I decided I would pick up SGE cause it seemed like fun, and I liked the aesthetic, plus I was like "New race, new job!" I loved Sage, and mained it for all of Endwalker, however towards the end I was thinking it might be nice to pick up my old friend WHM again for Dawntrail. It was the Job I identified with the most after all, and it had been with me through so many cannon events. Then Dawntrail came out. I saw the changes they were making for both SGE and WHM, and at first I was excited! Then I saw the changes for AST and SCH, and I was a little less excited for the changes to SGE and WHM, but more excited for the state of healers overall... that is... until I got my hands on all of them... When I got SGE to level 100, and got the capstone spell... Philosophia, it... it felt underwhelming... I felt jipped honestly... And the more I looked into the changes to WHM, the less excited I was to play that, I keep hearing it's not balanced well and it's the poorest performing healer of the four. Then I started leveling AST, and while I love the changes to that, (since they feel closer to what the HW cards were like, and I was one of the people who didn't complain about the cards in HW and loved the card system from back then. ) I felt the job was TOO good... I haven't hit level 100 on it yet, but directly comparing it's leveling through dungeons to the same experience on SGE, I feel like I actively used more of my kit on SGE in the same content... On AST I feel like I'm not even using a fraction of what's available to me and even the card system which I was excited for originally... the utility cards feel like they are either useless or just get defaulted to the tank either before a tankbuster or before the draw skill comes off CD. I feel like there's no card I can use for my own benefit, (like HW Ewer.) Unless I'm reading the tooltips incorrectly. They are all better given to other jobs, like melee or ranged dps, or the tank. It's honestly just frustrating, I got so frustrated that in the last boss of the level 93 dungeon I said 'Watch how broken this is...' I proceeded to just stand in aoes and pop cooldowns on myself and just completely ignore mechanics all while still healing the party and dpsing... I felt disgusted with both myself and the devs after that. *TLDR:* I feel like for the first time ever since I first began my MMO Journey as a 13 year old boy, playing WoW in 2005 I may need to retire my healer badge and become a DPS main, either that or just step away from the game until the Devs manage to rebalance the healers properly so that they're all equally fun to play while still keeping to their own job fantasy. 😮‍💨

I think the changes are better moving forward. This way they can focus on other things instead of the RNG clunky card system that is terrible to use. Espacially on controller. Sure pro astro players might miss it but it will make the job more accessable for most players.

I feel like sages mobility is understated. In high level content, never having to stand still to heal OR deal damage feels invaluable. Or course, it’s always been this mobile, that’s not new, but it’s still for me what makes sage really stand out.
