Should Cleric Stance be disabled during Dungeons and Raids?

Shut up Cerenth you haven't even cleared T11.

How rude. This is why nobody says to start a character on Moogle.

Ill just repeat the same thing I say whenever someone makes a topic about healers dpsing. Anyone who says healers shouldn't probably didn't pay attention to the conjurer quests.

If I couldn't stance dance on SCH, I wouldnt SCH anymore as it would be foring as buck for me to stand around most of the time waiting for someone to take damage after hitting em with a crit adlo.

Also OP, I good PLD OT will be using stoneskin on the MT. As MNK I self heal too with second wind (hits for 1500, crits for 2200) and Bloodbath with Blood for blood, So there, a DPS healing, a tank covering stoneskin, also SMN can cover healers for rezzing. No excuses now to DPS ^_^

I play with an excellent healer who wants to DPS during dungeons, I think it would bum him out if he knew he couldn't dps. While it's not required, it does help break up a bit of the monotony of just healing and a well equipped healer can really make a difference.

Dpsing healers is op and can lead to many great things hence why they had to take it out in PvP.
It can push for meeting strict dps checks during the early progression days, it can cause clear when all dps somehow die, it can help kill adds or do certain mechanics, it can make dungeon runs go 2x as fast. But the golden rule is
As long as no one dies you can do whatever.

I can only hope for most healers' sanity that they're doing some stuff in between heals, Cleric Stance or not, because there are a lot of places where there's not much to heal at all and using mana isn't a problem. As a Scholar Eos' manual Embrace can cover most heals perfectly fine especially in older stuff but even in current content.

Now if you aren't in Cleric Stance in moments where there's literally nothing to heal like Xande's Meteors, Cloud of Darkness's Qarn boxes (honestly most of the CT storyline fights if your tank isn't main tanking), or Odin's Shin Zantetsuken, generally stuff that needs to die fast and there's nothing doing any damage, it's just a big why.

What did this even have to do with anything that he said? o.O

So much this. Even in a bigger pull (especially if fairy buffs are up), crit adlo = CS, dot it up, Bane, then Lustrate while I swap back and resume healing. There's no reason whatsoever that a healer can't dps.

Yep. If it weren't for CS, I mayaswell just put Eos on Sic, follow someone, and go afk.
