Pretty sure demon version of Divine Pyro increases the chan of it so its faster than Sage, only diff between them is Divine adds undine Fire decrease defenses. The heal was something crucial in order to make the sage relevant on this sv. Phy def, demon still has more, just sage had a bit of a buff so it wouldnt be so squishy as if they wearing nothing Sage lacks channeling, sage was supposed to have more damage than Demon but they lack channeling and cant wear a atk lvl and hit as fast as Demon. Demon has more phy def. And on this sv being able to wear atk level weap as a mage when sage cant be as a use, says it all anyway. lol
Sage pdef is still lower than demon. Healing channeling got buffed cause lower geared sage wizards could never step up to demon insta healing in quaff. No, sage is by no means in advantage, the only big advantage it has atm to make up for lower def is the ability to damage from more range while debuffing with fire (hence why divine pyro has same % debuff as undine on epic). Im not saying 30m undine wouldnt benefit sage as well, it just takes away the big advantage sage has as it is right now. Im aware many players have no feeling for these details but we finally have a pk scene with few sage wizards at it, lets not go back to 3 years ago when it was nonexistant.
that's what's in the skill description but not how it really works, i tested both.

Sage has near infinite Chi, Quicker heals, Black Ice Dragon Strike, Longer stun on frozen flame, Epic Server only buff on the magic attack given by quaff. Epic Sever only buff on PDEF. It's not about sage def being lower, it's that it was raised above retail just for this server. Name another class that has gotten spoiled like that? Just one cultivation not the class? Sage mage has so many independent buffs and edges that only exist because of epic. I've played sage since before any of these free buffs were given to me, and I'll do it after we get an undine strike that works in mass lmao.You used to message me back in the day about how broken sage mage was tbh.
someone explain what increasing the range has anything to do with debuffs, youre just using it further away without having to run out infront of everyone in pk right? how does that affect anything
Because divine pyro range is > than undine range right now. And sage cultivation already casts a debuff equal to 60% (=undind fire debuff) on the target. Therefor they have an advantage over demon who has to get close to debuff. Changing that takes away what sage has over demon, which is pretty huge since pk atm is mostly about max ranges.
