I'm sure that's an easier adjustment for them. Remember, they said damage will scale with Mind so we will have to wait to see exactly what scales. The damage boost from the new cleric could mean lower overall damage but a larger burst.
Will be interesting to see.
Cleric Stance is dead!

Well, I don't share some players delight that 'cleric stance is dead', however the change being made makes sense. Conjurers should not have to flip their minds to do damage, their magic is Mind based, as should their damage be. I like the change of CS into a damage buff, like Raging Strikes is. This streamlines things a bit, although it does reduce the strategic thought needed to play healer well. I hope it does not lead to further homogenization of jobs in the same role, but I rather suspect that it will.

However, perhaps they can bring that feeling into a specific type of job but I think this is actually a really simple but good change for healers as a whole.Quote:

I'm curious how many will not slot esuna though :D :D
Highly likely they clicked on the thread and just replied slower than others to a thread that was blank or only a few posts.. we're live man.Quote:

I didn't mean optional like "optional to do damage" I meant it like they said it is optional to slot the ability, like you don't need cleric stance is how they made it sound. -

No excuse to not DPS as a healer expect a kick now if you want to stand around and do nothing

They're going over a lot of stuff so there is somethings you'll have to back track onto~ Mostly UI changes, so if you start now you should get to go over it as a unit still.
Some things come to mind like, tank role stun skill, bunch of defense stuff, goad for all melee and an ability that lets you ignore directional for 15 seconds, stuff like that. -
