Question from a cleric

Ok since barbarians are a main concern of clerics, I figured this was the best place to ask. So my question is, which heal would you prefer and why?
Sage IH- Bless the target to recover 1200 HP plus 35% of your base magic attack over 15 seconds. Sage version recovers an additional 10% more HP.
OR
Demon IH- Bless the target to recover 1200 HP plus 35% of your base magic attack and 300 MP over 15 seconds. Demon version also recovers 300 MP over 15 seconds.

If you will practice being fictional for a while, you will understand that fictional characters are sometimes more real than people with bodies and heartbeats.

    In my personal experience, I haven't noticed the extra heal from the sage version (could be because I've never been against too tough a boss with a sage cleric in party so don't take my word for it) too much, but a guy in my faction has demon version and that skill spoils me rotten. I never have an mp charm and am notorious for forgetting to pick up mp pots, so when I can use skills at will without worrying about my mp, I love it.

    If you really need that extra 10% from sage, you're either LA or fail. (Or both)

    As a general trend, I've seen barbs that much prefer the demon one so they can tank on a macro endlessly.

    only time i can think of where sage IH would be better is VS a world boss

    but even then i would much rather have demon stream than sage IH from said cleric
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.

    Since Barbs have notoriously low MP recovery. I'd go for the demon every time. I always carry HP event pots + apoth and ToP + second wind on genies for HP.

    ive had alot of barbs say they love sage IH on things like ancient evil, some clerics i know make it really easy to do with one cleric. my woman, on the other hand as a veno, loves demon during aoe'ing bosses because it allows a non-stop spam of pet heal.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    Well, I have not experienced either as yet, but I have honestly no great preference for one over the other from the description. Both can come in handy in certain cituations, although, like many Barbs, I'd prefer Demon for the added MP regen which allows more adequate skill spamming for Tanking :)

    PS:also, is this a question to decide your Culti path in another lvl? =p

    Well one makes the barb's job easier(demon) and one makes the cleric's job easier(sage), so it comes as no surprise barbs rave about the demon one.

    Which is also why I like that one =p.
