#sage #sge #ffxiv ** Major Corrections on Sage (SGE): 1) While yes, their secondary gimmick is that they can heal through attacking, note that it is ONLY Single Target (ST). Furthermore, the amount healed via attacking (Cure Potency 170) is significantly lower than all of Sage’s other abilities (Cure Potency 300 - 900). If you think you can just cast [Kardia] on the tank and only attack, your tank IS going to die. This mechanic is primarily there to provide supplemental healing akin to a Scholars Fairy, Eos/Selene. 2) Sages true primary gimmick and class function is their ability to weave numerous layered shielding and damage mitigation buffs. No other class can pump out barriers, shields, and layer abilities like a Sage can. Scholar used to be the Tactician of Shields, until Sage promptly stole it from them. Sage is a “Proactive Healer.” Meaning, they primarily work by preventing damage from being sustained in the first place. In fact, Sage is the only healer that can fully lock-down a bosses raid-wide Limit Break attack and prevent the party/raid from sustaining any damage at all (that is, if they were to blow their shielding loads all at once). 3) Regarding Sage’s [Plegma], [Toxicon], and [Dykrasia] attacks - They’re Instant-cast (IC) Area of Effect (AoE) Attacks with relatively short range and decent damage. Ideally, you should specifically use Plegma and Toxicon: A) During raid-wide burst windows to maximize damage, and B) in conjunction with the [Soteria] ability during large dungeon pulls so that you’re pumping out stronger tank healing via [Kardia] while assisting your team in quickly taking down those mobs of enemies. The damage priority will always be: Plegma > Toxicon > Dykrasia (as filler). Although yes, you CAN use Toxicon as movement damage. 4) Regarding [Pneuma] - This is NOT an ability you should think of as an “attacking” ability. It is one of your “Ohh Shit!” major healer cooldown buttons. Sure, yes, Pneuma “Can” deal AoE damage, but it’s primary usage is as Sage’s instant AoE Healing Nuke. It is almost always pared with [Zoe] before hand which increases the healing potency of the next healing spell by 50%, which makes Pneuma have a whopping party/raid-wide 900 Cure Potency heal! Also, Pneuma is the only spell/ability in Sage’s arsenal with a higher base critical chance rating. Meaning, it will Crit roughly 1/2 of the time. With this ability combo, a Sage can easily heal a party from 1 HP back up to 50% - 75% HP in the blink of an eye. 5) Here’s a good sample of how a skilled Sage should open between Dungeon pulls: Make sure [Kardia] is on the Tank. -> Just before the Tank Pulls, cast [Eukrasia] and then [Eukrasian Prognosis] to preemptively Shield the party. -> After the tank has grouped up the mobs, Immediately cast [Krasis] and [Physisis II] on the Tank, followed by [Kerachole] and [Soteria] in quick succession. This layers a +30% healing received buff on the tank for 10s, a +10% healing received buff on the entire party for 10s, reduces damage taken by party members by 10% for 15s, provides a 230 Cure Potency Regen to all party members for 15s, and pumps up the healing via damage of your next four attacks to Cure Potency 240. -> Next, target a mob and unleash hell x2 [Plegma III], x3 [Toxicon II], and x1 [Dykrasia II]. -> Right about now all your previous/buffs and shields should be coming down. Target the tank and cast [Tarochole] and then [Eukrasia] + [Eukrasian Diagnosis] to top the tank off, regive them a +10% damage mitigation buff, and a HP shield while the previous spells are still on cool down. * IF * Extra shielding or healing is needed here, you can layer [Haima] here. -> Next, continue wailing on mobs with [Dykrasia II] or if ST, [Eukraisa] + [Eukrasian Dosis III] and then [Dosis III]. -> …If mobs are somehow still alive at this point, simply restart the cycle all over again. 6) Lastly, Sage has a bunch of Instant-cast Off GCD Shields and Healing spells that can be weaved in whenever necessary and the situation calls for it.

As a SCH main, I don’t shield my party members from damage, I shield them from themselves…….😢

One thing I want for Astro rework to give the job is something I call "Reverse Arcana" Allow us to actually burn cards to deal damage or debuffs on enemies. Miles better than Undraw.

A very nice guide for me (a sprout) to understand the basics of each healer job. Also including aesthetic is very neat!

Loved the video, very high quality, smooth and well laid out. I'm a healer main myself so def got my subscription, good luck in this journey.

Wanted to see the other videos but it's the first ? Damn, could never guess since how well and smooth this video is, feels like you made a lot more before. Good job !

SGE really is a comfy job! I initially had a fair amount of trouble with the names and how similar the skill icons looked, but after getting the hang of it, it's one of my go-to healers! That or AST to spice things up.

I love sage, it feels like the best healer to play for pf because of how it can pretty much solo heal most stuff if you know what you’re doing, not having to rely on pf white mages for 9-12 reclears is such a weight off my mind that I mostly play sage over scholar now

thank you for including aesthetic and such. this was mostly easy for me to understand as a new player

I watched many of your vids months ago, but every time they show up again in my recommendations, I rewatch them. Aside from the great vid quality, I LOVE your WoL's design.

Love the video. I main Scholar for most of the time, but also enjoy my Sage. Been working on getting the White mage / Astro to 90.... Learning them as I go. Scholar for me is my favorite, love the shield mechanic.

Great video! My two cents as a sage main is that they have absurd numbers of damage reduction, so the shields aren't as chunky as sch, usually, we prevent more damage to that shield. And one thing that took me awhile coming from ast, is that sge is ALL ABOUT COOL DOWNS, stacking certain ones to snapshot effects and combine shields/mit, is like playing tank for whole party. And the cooldown are almost all short to help with this idea

I'm getting back into the game and this video was very well organized and helpful. Your voice and editing style is also very pleasant!! Thank you!!

the quality of this video is outstanding, its on another level. Great work!

I’m an Astro main at the moment, but a bit worried about the changes coming in 7.0 (was a bard main when they turned into a caster in heavensward, that was gross) might give whm another shot or sch. Honestly I like shields way more than regen/reaction heals but Astro abilities and glams look cooler than sch ones in my opinion. I played sage a decent portion of msq for endwalker, it was fun but it just feels weak to me, most of that is probably me just being bad at the class, and it has the weakest glam options. The fairy wings are the only good weapon glam and even those aren’t the best when deployed.

If there's one thing that makes me love SCH the most out of all the healers, it's probably the big shields, SGE has neat shields as well but i'm sticking with my nerd class lol, also glasses are required for SCH because of that battle stance emote.

Keep up the clear quality FFXIV content. Amazing work and Edit 🙏

Pretty good video, even if ya don't consider it's your first video. Lookin' forward to what you come up with next.

I think you are mainly a healer but I love your style and format for these videos. I think you should consider doing this type of videos for all types of jobs. Thanks for the informative and entertaining video as a beginner it was really helpful. I plan on maining magic dps (black mage) but play a healer as a secondary. White mage seems like a perfect fit for me (would have thought sage would be better for me before this video) so thanks a lot. Already started my conjurer job quests. I am fairly new to this game (20 hours in game time) so this being understandable for me is a great plus. Other types of content have lots of keywords that I don’t understand. I am confident that you will reach thousands of subs soon.

Love your presentation style. You bring something unique to FFXIV-tube.

Amazing video! You really captured the vibe of each job, I really enjoyed it ❤❤❤

Thank you for posting this! I wasn't sure which one I would want to play.

Your character is so cute waa ❤ The video is well-made, everything is on point, editing and scenery - flawless. Thank you for doing a great job \o/ Shame that the coziest class for me is getting a rework yet again :') Hope its gonna be something decent, like Synastry rework or Undraw becoming an actual damage-dealing spell like WHM's Blood Lily. Would be great to have yet another ability to throw a literal celestial body on your enemies😂

I sent this video to a friend to help them decide what Healer they wanted to play. Very simple and straight forward thank you.

when you say no BS you really mean it, this is content I can get behind

As a tank, this helps me. Now I can adjust better depending on which healer is in my party.

Loved this video! Might level my healers after my tanks are don🔥

thanks dude, helped me a lot to understand the different healers in the game!

I was a NOC AST main on shadowbringers because I can mitigate while being mobile. When sage came out I fell in love with it and I main SGE now because I can mitigate while moving and:or attacking simultaneously.

As I transitioned to playing healer for more variety, I realized I had never been this toxic before. I found myself yelling at people to pull themselves together and move out of the fcking fire.

Great Video! I maxed all healing jobs by now and honestly prefer Astro i like that you took things like aesthetics into consideration!

Very nice video, thanks!!

That was really informative, great for me who is about to get back into the game. Your cat is really cute, mine looks pretty androgynous too. Cheers!

My healing style is Sage. My aesthetic style is Astrologian. If you know your history, then you can see my frustration with the healing scene atm.

AST LB3: "My god, it's full of stars!" and so very pretty! Thanks for the neat guide. I'd probably go with Sage's laser beams, because I already like Machinist's tech look a bunch.

Kardia from SGE is basically SCH Fairy, except the Fairy will constantly heal whoever needs HP, whereas the SGE has to be casting it's damage spell to get Kardia heal. There are situations where you can't cast attack spell, and you lose healing potential as a SGE.

Sage was my first healer and i fully agree its such a chill/comfy job for me to play

I’m trying to find a non reactive (somewhat) HoT type healer similar to restoration Druid in wow. Any suggestions

Very new to the game, coming from a lot of healing in wow, dam can’t decide which healer to play except sage doesn’t interest me, scholar and astrologer look awesome fun to play!

Here before he gets big. Good video!!!

Very handy and i like your voice.

great vid and really informative, hopefully we get to see more! ps. 1 copperbell pls wink wink

I currently have WHM, SCH, and SGE at 90. I'm not sure if my smooth brain can handle playing AST. 😅

I began the game as a White Mage. Now I'm a lethal Astrologian. Duel Monsters cards for days.

When I first started playing, I beelined for astrologian just cause I love space and stars. I had no idea how to really play the game or what the astrologian really does. This video helps me understand the difference between each healer job. I didn't realize that astrologian was one of the harder healer jobs lol

Well done video!! Subbing and thumbs up :)

Very well edited and organized video :D off topic question but what reshade preset do you use? It looks very clean and nice

I love every second of this.

This is for the extra green sprouts, if you level a Scholar you will also be leveling a summoner. 2 for 1 deal 🎉

Started as scholar and am now in love with sage.

I didn't care how busy AST was, I'm in it for the aesthetics

What's the outfit that your WHM is wearing? I'm really crushing hard on it. It gives me a bit of the Yuna vibes from FF X. I can't really tell if your WoL is male or female. Either way I love the outfit.

Hoping they give scholars something more interesting to do with the aether flow gauge next expansion. Maybe spend 25-50 for a new kind of heal or shield or attack.

Ngl I clicked because your character is cute. Really pulling off the astrologian outfit

Please make videos about dps and tanks! :)

also need the honorary healer, warrior :D

Scholar is how I play my healers in Champions Online, shielding and then healing when i need to. so i guess i'll start with that. hope i don't regret it lols

I started AST for my healer and i enjoy it the most, but when i tried to learn WHM i seem to have a hard time playing the job.

As an AST main since 2015, here's hoping the AST rework is reverting AST to the 4.x version of AST. Stormblood AST best AST. I do not care if I lose macrocosmos or divination, I was that royal road and unique card game and sleeve draw again.

I just can't wrap my head around the barrier. Didn't like Disc Priest in WoW, and just can't shake it here. But if I WHM I feel much more in my element. Nothing against Sage or Scholar. I just suck at it :P

nice video! what's ur hairstyle on your miqote? its so cute!

THIS IS AWESOME 🎉🎉🎉🎉

What do you use to make your game look so good? (What's the secret sauce?)

Such a nice video

First time finding you, enjoying the presentation and the good editting, but personally the cuts to your character talking has a level of uncanny valley that made me somewhat uncomfortable? It could just be me, but thought I'd provide the feedback.

I love Astro and Scholar

Sage here, been for a long time either dps or tank since beta but once sage came to existence I had a gundum moment and made a no brain switch

scholar feels like a simple class until you discover the Place button and then it feels like injecting caffeine into your veins as you try to cast 45 spells in three seconds

White Mage Represent! Blood for the blood lIly!

My experience dealing and playing with white mages Tank (usually War) end of w2w pull: ok DPS is slow and most mit is on cool down. I still have holmgang (or other Oh shit button), so I'm fine Incase of emergency. Not a single heal. Drops to 25-15% hp, ok I'm on my own. Smash homegang. Whm bene. I glare at whm. As playing as whm, same scenario: glare. Glare. Glare. Glare. Glare.... Sigh glare.... Glare... Oh look tank below 50, heal. Glare.. glare.. glare.. glare.. heal dps... Glare... Glare... Glare... I hate whm period

Addition: WHM and SCH are on the more reactive side. AST and SGE are on the more proactive side.

Still love Astrologin.❤

wait wait wait AST is getting ANOTHER rework?? D:

Yes you need to play healer I need healing

I'm so baffled why Astro still has Undraw in their kit - It doesn't replenish the card you undraw back to your arcana, it just erases it. At that point it'd be preferable to just overdraw it than undraw :'D

It gives me anxiety every time I'm reminded Astrologian is being reworked again.

Healers don't exist in FF14. It's people who are DPS and people who are DPS who can also heal people.

I want stormblood astro back :(

I kind of want to disagree that SGE is similar to SCH gameplay wise. SGE is actually a better mitigator than SCH, but SCH is a much better healer. With SGE, you have Holos and Kerechole that both out out 10% mitigation as well as Taurachole for a 10% personal mitigation. Also, Kerechile is up every 30 seconds so its quite powerful. Though scholar gets Sacred soil with the same cooldown, unless you save aetherflow specifically for sacred soil, you can only replenish it once a minute whereas the sage guage constantly builds once every... I think 15 seconds but dont quote me. The shields that sge can put out, even after buffing it with Zoe is pretty weak though. Haima and Panhaima are also unique since they are shields that replenish as soon as they break for 15 seconds up to 5 times which is great for bleeds and repeated roomwides. Sch on the other hand is more about putting out BIG BEEFY SHIELDS. Though it can still mitigate with sacred soil and expediant, its primary function feels a lot more like using abilities that provide party wide shields. Its also worth noting that sch is much lower potency per GCD than SGE and using your aetherflow for anything except damage is a damage loss which discourages the use of Sacred Soil, whereas Kerechole is just free.

"as a sage main since 6.0 dropped" hmm yes interesting

Sometimes you have to ask yourself..do you want to be: 1) a doctor (white mage) 2) a pseudoscience medium (astro) 3) a theoretical physicist (scholar) 4) an unlicensed medical practitioner (sage)

wait they are reworking Astrologian? AGAIN?! LET IT BE FOR ONE HECKING EXPANSION I BEG OF YOU!

they could just as well delete astro entirely. i dont trust this job will ever survive an expansion. every damn time it gets a complete rework. and its gotten worse every time. it was once my favorite. but now you have to re-learn it with every expansion

Astrologian cards to know which card buff works best on party members, look at the outline of the card on the job gauge. If its pinkish purple, goes to ranged dps, if blue color 2:59 then goes to melee dps/tank. _comment before 7.0 AST rework_

In the end there is a reactive and barrier healer. There is no longer any true class identity in the game. SE needs to fix this and be brave enough to make healers pure support. We do not need to do damage if the game was designed towards more complex healers.

how many times is se gonna rework ast lmao😭
