The development team expressed a desire to create a clear difference between barrier healers and pure healers (like the White Mage), so the Astrologian - another healing job - will be reworked into more of a pure healer.īarrier-type healers are nothing knew to FFXIV but as Yoshida explained: According to producer and director Naoki Yoshida, the Sage is a barrier-type healer, using powerful shields to prevent and mitigate damage (similar to the Scholar). Endwalker will introduce a new dedicated healer class known as the Sage.
