Sage, the newest healer in Final Fantasy XIV<\/em>, is very different from many other healer jobs in the game: doing damage actually heals party members. The class isn’t the easiest to master, but with a few tips, players can both maximize their damage and keep their party members healed up.<\/p>
Sage has three main damage dealers, a damage-over-time, a single-target skill, and an AoE skill. As with any other DoT, make sure that it’s always applied to your enemy. Other than that, players will need to use their skills to adjust to the situation and keep their friends alive.<\/p>
Players looking to pick up Sage should go in with the knowledge that this class of healer is more similar to Scholar, which deals more with mitigating damage than straight healing, than White Mage or Astrologian, which have more direct healing and fewer mitigation skills.<\/p>
