Its not all that bad, then again im heals. The problem really happened when 1.2 dropped, and Deliverance no longer really benefited from the Conveyance of 30% Cast time reduction to 30% Force reduction. Which imho is fine for PvE less cost, more pool = more heals. However in PvP a lot of times speed is key to your teams survival and considering Deliverance is your largest heal the cast time is way to long. especially since baddie sent/mara simply pre-made with 2sent/mara and a healer. They generally can wreck and not worry about actually learning their class. While trying to 'balance' Sages, BW really dropped the ball. Though about a week after 1.2 dropped, i adapted. Seriously it shouldn't take to long to adapt and overcome things. It can get frustrating but hopefully they will fix it and if not well tough i guess. The thing i like about Sages is the fact that you semi have to know what your doing and think through things, instead of leaping before looking.

It all depends on your play style, i personally suck at Huttball i get maybe 150-200k heals. But i use rescue like a pro along with shield and cleanse, which tends to put points on the board. VS, NC and CW i tend to go upwards of 300-600k and Im not even in full BM yet. To get better heals you'll have to Re-spec hybrid, AoE is nice, but really does'nt work most times ive found, except on NC and CW in the middle, if you control it. That said, im full seer because im not a hardcore PvPer i like FP's and Ops too much to sacrifice it. Hope my input helps feel free to ask me anything else and i can get more specific. P.S - Sorry its not the best, im currently in Afghanistan so i dont have a whole lot of time. Also some things may have changed havent played in 3 months cause of the deployment. Also which server are you on? Myself Corellia Run
