A nice change to philosophia I’d like to see is part of the overhealing it does is converted into a shield

Playin a dangerous game with that thumbnail, partner

Hey Momo! I've been enjoying the Dawntrail content, but I must say I don't quite get why you consider Seraphism to be so much stronger than Philosophia. Visually and creatively it is of course the much more interesting ability, no arguments there, but powerwise I feel like they are extremely similar. Sorry if this comment comes across as ranty or hostile, but I feel like you're making a bit of an unfair comparison regarding their use cases. I feel like you are putting too much emphasis on Philosophia as a better Kardia, and overlooking how it competes with Seraphism's output if both are forced to gcd heal (which is the only situation you'd use Seraphism) To begin with, their main effects are essentially the same two things: 1. Increase your gcd healing by 20% (Accession and Manifestation are just 20% stronger Succor and Adlo, respectively) 2. Grant a regen-like effect to heal the party without using healing gcd's (100p regen vs 150p "Kardia") You say Eudaimonia has potential to overheal when it's not needed due to the necessity to roll your gcd for dps, but isn't that even more true of the Seraphism's regen effect, which you have NO control over? At the same time, Eudaimonia heals for 50% more, and will of course also heal more often than the regen ticking every 3 seconds (assuming you're rolling the gcd of course). Furthermore, you say Seraphism works well because healing gcd's are expected to be timed well. But Eudaimonia also procs on those healing gcd's, essentially functioning like a Plenary and adding a flat 150 potency to each gcd (which somewhat makes up for E.Prog being 100 potency under Succor by default). Isn't that just more healing per GCD than scholar can put out, even with Seraphism active? Seraphism obviously has 2 unique effects over Philosophia: Instant gcd heals for the duration (which are baseline for Sage shields), and no cooldown on Emergency tactics. While this is strong, I feel like this is only advantageous over Sage if you somehow require an absolutely massive amount of healing and there is also no concurrent damage to break shields between the casts. In that situation, Sage would be forced to spam normal Prognosis due to Pepsis not being spammable or buffed by Philosophia, which obviously is nowhere near the output Scholar can do with Emergency Manifestation. Is this a situation you see realistically happening a decent amount in prog? Is this just a case of Seraphism solving a bigger issue for Scholar (mobile, continuous gcd healing) than Philosophia does for Sage (Kind of just more of what Sage is already good at), thus ending up a "stronger" ability? Or is it something else that makes Seraphism complement Scholar's kit so much better than Philosophia for Sage? If you got this far, thanks for reading!

Sage gets "the better" new damage skill out of all the healers (not a follow up attack) but the least interesting level 100 skill 🫠

Awesome video, thanks!

Excellent Sage video my liege.

I’ve fallen in love with healing this expansion so far. ❤

I was looking forward to this and fully agree. I saw Philosophia and said "wait.. what? why?" I kind of genuinely hate it? It's thematic, funny because "WOW AOE KARDIA!!!", but like.. you can do anything you would want from this skill normally in SGE's kit? It's another big regen. Pneuma has burst healing covered and we have a million ways to slow burn HP bars back up. Hoping content shows up that really makes this button worth caring about more.

What happened with the previous video ? Barely started watching it before it was removed 😢

Rhizo giving an addersting and Icarus having 2 stacks would be a small but massive change. I'd love that. Oh but also pls let the DoT's stack 👉🏻👈🏻

As a Greek myself , I love every and each name of these abilities , especially Soterios 😊

I'd like them to add another way to generate addersting stacks that doesn't work off gcd heals. They feel really inconsistent, gcd heals are a last resort for me and it feels like being punished.

A lot of people seem to forget or completely overlook the new Eukrasian Dyskrasia. It's at least a very welcome new tool in dungeons on trash pulls, where Sage can sometime struggle keeping a tank up that is poorly geared or doesn't use their own mitigation properly.

Nice video :)

Hey Momo, out of pure curiosity were you Jin Dono that use to play on Brynhildr?

i am so waiting for the whm video

To me, to make Philosophia better, it would be reducing the procs it gets, maybe upping the potency a bit, and also making the next X damaging spells instant. Yeah if you prepare this would be not really needed, but, it would still be cool and encourage people to dps...

Actually , i'm here wondering how you accidentally put Scholar in sages place on your thumbnail

I agree with you about these changes, only that I don't want them to homogenize panhaima. I think making the jobs more diverse is a good thing and I hope SE continues to do that, giving each job something unique

I was looking at Philosophia trying to decide where it'd be most useful and it occurred to me. If I had it during HH on P10S that mechanic would have been far easier to get through. I think it's probably been designed with that specific kind of mechanic in mind tbh. The 3rd trial also appeared to have something that'll probably be HH in EX3 so I'm looking forward to it.

I like to think of Philosophia as an equivalent to WHM's planery Indulgence that you can also utilize with gcd dmg skills, I just wish that you could use soteria on it. It's very effective in fights with heal checks like e12s terminal relativity or p8s (final mech, forgot the name)

What do you think of WHM? So far it’s the worst healer in terms of DPS contribution, pure healing and mitigation healing as has the weakest tool for any situation the game can throw at you. I’m really curious what your take is on them.

I don't disagree with any point that you've made regarding Philosophia, but personally I love it. Found two places in EX1 that it really shined for me.

Yeah Philosophia is restrictive.. oh wait we wiped once today cause Seraphism doesn‘t work after Dissipation, and without you still cannot move and heal to the extend required with the current lackluster kit and potencies. Your fairy potencies are almost non-existent, Indom is better, but doest even heal one hit back up, nevermind 3 back to back. In that sense Philosophia is actually not restrictive at all, you can just use it whenever and it will be able to do it’s job, without any arbitrary conditions that make a old system feel even worse. I agree that it sound rather lackluster in comparison, but Sage is already hands down overturned and overpowered as it is, while staying rather simple to use and being extremely fast and responsive. So this extra, comparatively strong, HoT, is just another bonus imo

As a sage main, both in-game and irl (I'm a doctor), I'm feeling kinda lukewarm on these changes, but I can't say I'm disappointed. Didn't expect anything massive, and that's... kinda how it ended. Welp. Here's to 8.0? lol.

Im torn apart, because Im not sure to continue my path as Scholar or Sage, since Im finding Scholar really difficult to master :(

Sure, in low optimization environments you'll likely not get the maximum potency of Philosophia, but at the same time in those exact same low-optimization environments people are likely taking more damage than necessary from mistakes, underutilized mitigation, or taking longer to kill trash due to low DPS. So frankly, in that sense it pretty much cancels it out. You'll probably find more use out of it in Duty Finder than you will in mid-optimization environments like when you first start progging a fight.

Philosophia feels kinda like SGE's Dissipation to me (not in terms of use case, but how it fits into the kit).

they should have gave physis a small potency buff aswell to go with the 5 second healing buff trait, atleast it would have felt somewhat impactful then..

Philosophia seems like something thats better used to augment a sage's healing toolkit rather than a tool to rely on for healing

As a Sage player I just want Pepsi to work on Hamia/Panhaima and give a bonus heal based on stacks remaining or something.

THERE IT IS!! I guess I'm out 10 bucks

honestly as a scholar main, while seraphism is better, i like sage's lv 100 skill more. why? Because unlike seraphism, sage can continue with the same gameplay pattern of attacking with gcds and healing with ogcds. The whole kit of both sage and scholar is meant so you almost never need to use a gcd to heal, and instead weave your healings between your damage skills, specially sage, and now while in seraphism i need to choose between dpsing or healing, meanwhile sage will be doing both.

Holy shit he actually did it. Poggies

I think philosophia need to add barrier effect

its a shame that Philosophia doesn't give shields instead of healing

I'm new to healers and could use a bit of advice. How do you guys keep your 1 key from wearing out? Mine is already faded beyond the point of recognition since I've started and I'd like to do something about it. I was thinking of buying a foot pedal and macroing it to that key and playing with that. That way at least my keyboard (specificlly just one key really) won't get worn out and broken. It'll also let me get deeper sleep whenever I run dungeons since it'll be easier to press.

I don't have anything interesting to say again so I'jj just leave this comment for engagement

Sigh I am so upset sage got like nothing but se gives sch more broken stuff.... jesus I swear its the only healer they care about, watch now no one wants a sage in ex/savages/ultimates.
