Healing with Cleric Stance ON

[16bitBounty]

most dungeons can be healed with cleric stance on and selene out.

i only heal with cleric stance up in 1 condition

when i have benediction up

to not waste time switch cleric off top tank HP , SS & regen , switch cleric on and DPS

This would be more an awareness thing. It is unlikely a non-distracting red glow will help the healer. After all, people still die to blighted bouquet on t6 accidentally when the screen is 1/4 yellow.

For the healers that counter "I'm attacking" when being told, it is either he/ she is being defensive/ childish counter or he/ she feels comfortable with the tank's hp falling to critical. Applications of healing in cleric stance (all are niche uses):

1. Speed run opener. Cleric stance > Holy > Cure 2 > Holy > Holy (to maximize chain stun time)
2. Going to pull aggro.
3. Off-healing. In 4-man, selene/ eos handling main healing (you can get synced into a lvl18 dungeon as SCH, on cleric stance then change your only available cross-class skill to aero; leaving cleric stance on until end of duty) and in 8-man, a reliable/ agreed upon main healer (though can't see why you can't switch stances).

I'm guilty of leaving Cleric on and not realising until waaay later...

To be fair, I think the name is misleading. I think Cleric I think Healer.

Its called Crusader's Stance in the Japanese version. Makes a little bit more sense.

I kind of wish Cleric Stance would use up the cooldown when turning it off. As Healer, sometimes I make the clumsy mistake of pressing the Cleric Stance button twice by accident and then going right back into Cleric Stance when I meant to turn it off.

Didn't know that but I wholeheartedly agree.

A red aura when in cleric would be a nice touch. The game needs visual touches for buffs/debuffs on our characters. Why don't we have the classic poison animation above our heads when poisoned, for example?

In the 2.28 patch they added heart's above your character when you are Seduced by Haukke Manor HM's final boss. Was a nice touch, I'm hoping they do more of these.

Then you are thinking wrong. Cleric comes from D&D where clerics are like battle healers. They have strong physical and magical attacks to compliment their heals. They are very closely related to Paladins and are almost always a militant fighter.

Pretty much every game uses them this way as well. Everquest they were strong as can be against undead, used a shield and mace as well as heavy armor.

I think it'd be better called Druid stance since for Conjurer's it's used for using more elemental blast magic.

To be fair, I think the name is misleading. I think Cleric I think Healer. Even now when I play my White Mage it feels counter-intuitive switching to Cleric's Stance to DPS. It'd be far clearer if there was a healing and DPS'ing stance in much the same way Monks have a damage mitigation and damage dealing stance.

The first final fantasy's were loosely based on dungeons and dragons. In Dungeons and Dragons a Cleric can wield heavy armor and heavy maces. They are anything but a feeble healer.
