Sagas and Themes - impact and cost.

I have reached level 25, and frankly I see little reason atm to use Sagas, Themes are already an expensive headache. I do like some Sagas in their concept...but still their situational impact vs cost isn't there for me.

Theme's passive and active buffs are nice, but they are expensive to cast and with how micro-intensive bard is already, their 30 second uptime just adds to that pain. I suppose I should be grateful their cast time is short.

Sages are sold as this impactful abilities which can make a real difference in a pvx engagement. Bugs aside (I don't think all of them even work as intended), I don't feel their impact on the battlefield justifies:
  • Talent point investment, especially tier 2 sagas
  • 180 second set-up time and the mana cost
  • Mana cost
  • The fact you have to recast your themes after a Saga consumes them

Please someone prove me wrong. Thanks.
My lungs taste the air of Time,
Blown past falling sands…
