Sage is a healing job in Final Fantasy XIV that was introduced in the Endwalker expansion and uses theirnouliths to channel aether, shielding their allies and attacking their foes. They can only be played after completingthe required quest in Limsa Lominsa, after reaching Level 70 on another job and owning the Endwalker expansion.
1.
What is Sage's Playstyle?
Sage (SGE) is a barrier healer with a mechanically interactive kit andan extreme focus on preventative healing with its many sources of shielding andmitigation.
Kardia allows Sage to passively heal their "partnered"party member each time they cast a damage spell, placing an even larger focuson high GCD uptime. With this passive healing and their focus on preventativemeasures, Sage is an incredibly powerful healer while the run is goingwell. With a little planning, its powerful abilities can effortlesslytrivialize many healing checks.
However, this clear strength is balanced out by its relativey lowrecovery potential. The fact that it struggles to recover from bad situationsfurther emphasizes its identity as a preventative healer. It is both incrediblyimportant and highly rewarding to take advantage of your greateststrength—the ability to make sure the party never gets into a badsituation in the first place.
