I mean, the sage stuff doesn't have to be high-tech in aesthetic, since we've learned that nouliths are basically just telekinetically-controlled wands.

Sage is cool and fun, though I'll probably never get the absolute maximum output from it since I'm not exactly a "think three steps ahead" kind of gamer. Luckily the prep work for most content is pretty straightforward and extremely effective. One thing to watch out for is getting too used to Kerachole having a regen, since when you sync down it'll stop doing that. I have to admit I'm kind of curious how the "don't you dare ever dps as a healer" genre of tank players will react to sage.

My only previous experience with real healing is WHM, and that was mostly limited to dungeons. I kinda never got into SCH, and avoided the shield stance on AST when I could. Sage is surprising fun, pre-shielding the tank feels really satisfying, but I'm still not great at dealing with panic situations and turn into a bit of a "press something!" mindset. How much you can do quickly with Sage might make it hard for me to go back to WHM though. The only thing I don't like is the GCD blocking me from activating Eukrasia - it makes getting a shield up quickly feel kind of stressful since I'll sometimes try to Eukrasia too fast, then end up starting to casing a diagnosis. Also sometimes I have the brain dumbs/muscle memory gently caress up and mix up casting my Dot and my shield since they're on 1 and alt+1 respectively, and both need to be proceeded by Eukrasia. Aesthetically I particularly dig it, and personally I want more gear/weapon that lean into the techy vibes. The current weapon glam options leave me wanting. Chondrite is funny, but a bit too chunky for what I'm going for. (Or at least, I wish I could dye them.)

I like the Palaka Pendulums a lot too, they're luminescent green glass with a sort of peacock feather appearance that looks extremely 1920s to me, they really stand out.

So for example, Zenos big dumb loving golf bag let’s him do Aetheric Samurai techniques.

I am not a healer main, but I've levelled all of them to 80, including Sage, and Sage is my favorite for sure. It's the one that feels the most satisfying to play. The aesthetic, from spells to gear, is top-notch. Mechanically it's removed a lot of the friction that exists on the other healers so it's a very smooth experience. At least in terms of dungeon running, it's got an amazing tool kit.

There are plenty of non-Garleans among the ranks who can use magic, you see them all the time on the front lines. The only place where it's purebloods-only is the highest echelons of leadership, regular soldiers can be from wherever.

Got ROG to 30 and unlocked NIN and did Satasha as an ARC so I could use Roulettes with it. I certainly did not expect that I ran into probably the most weirdest tank I've encountered. Basically, the tank didn't respond in chat, moved in an incredibly janky manner, only use the single target attacks and even then, if it wasn't actually standing around while the rest of the party did the actual fighting. The only explanation was that it was a bot or something which is a rare thing to see considering it had an actual (but silly) name instead of a string of random letters and the fact that it showed up on a Duty at all. Anyway, the rest of the party (including me) voted the tank out and got another one that was an actual player and knew how to Tank. We've pretty much breezed past through Satasha with ease thanks to him.

On a related note, thankfully someone in here reminded me that shout chat could be turn off. The Zone 6 chat of a thousand people waiting 17+ (!!) hours for a whacky monkey cheese random mount was killing the vibe, what with everyone trying to one up the other with puns, ALL CAPS, and similar cringeworthy goofiness.
