Should Cleric Stance be disabled during Dungeons and Raids?

[sydh]

I don't even like my skills disabled in PvP content either... it's not like there's a single one which gives you a significant advantage in combat.

I don't either and have since stopped playing. SE just doesn't know how to balance pvp while keeping it fun for every class/job.

There are huge threads that are all about that debate already otherwise I'd pop in my 2c for that.

No /end thread.

What? Holy spam is my favorite part of healing!

If the healer DPSs more than actual healing, should probably just kick them anyway. Shouldn't blame the skill, but the player.

Though, I find it pathetic that there are people who are so incompetent as dps they need their healers to dps. Really guys?

You know what I find pathetic ? That most of the White Mages don't know/don't care about the following:

A healer's job is to prevent and heal damage. Holy for White Mages has a stun component attached to it. You can cast 3 Holy before mobs get Stun Immunity. There, you did damage AND prevented damage. Huzzah!

This right here is spot on. As a tank doing a large dungeon pull a few holy's really help lower the incoming damage, and as a warrior I just drop Blood Bath and my overpower spam keeps me happily alive while the healer begins the stun lock. So good in dungeons.

Can this thread just stop being necrobump, I don't see a reason for it since it has 17 pages saying the same thing.

This was just a general suggestion about whether cleric stance is a hindrance or not, and obliviously most feel its not. It doesn't mean I don't dps and heal.

Oh you sweet dear child you think you can stop this now?

*Rubs your face gently*

No, there is no stopping it.

Please yes!
I dislike these so called "healers", being more the dps as the healer role - party dies - healer blames party/tank and leaves -
thanks for wasting our time! <-<

I had more negative exp. than good ones!

It's all in the context of the run though so it is really hard to make a blanket statement. If the group is halfway decent and the tank actually uses cool downs, there is a lot of downtime for actual healing and dpsing (or handling other boss mechanics) is a great way to use those cycles. If the tank goes RAWR must pull it all! and didn't use cooldowns and effectively wiped the group i'd bail too. I'm sure in some cases the healer was the issue and didn't use appropriate abilities to keep the tank up.

So we all have runs where it wasn't a good idea to do it but I'd say on average most runs it is a good idea.
