Sage is cleary unbalanced right now. Most of every single path of Wizard will take one rank in Sage some time (Rank 8 or 9). Think about it, support will take it for portal, blink and Imune of Everything buff. AOE Dps (Ele), will take Sage to improve their AOE DPS, and Imune balanced buff. Summoner path will have to take Sage to dupplicate summon, and Imune Balanced Buff. FeatherFoot will get Sage to become a god imune thing. Even CC oriented builds will take Sage in progression, for the way of the rank were design (there is no better option to Cryo/Kino even if this Balanced Buff would be banish from GvG/PvP). So yeah, Sage is the new Meta for Wizards. Deal with it.
PS: I think Wizard is get behind in this Att. Dealing not as much damage and being more support oriented. Even more as JP/HK/Reversi and Pole will become scrolls. Clerics are doing more stuff and possible more magic damage. Allthough i think the harderst damage in this Att will be obviously physical (Yep, time to shine i guess). Just my thoughts
