[Zoralink]

I miss the days when people had the manners to not derail a discussion from the original question.

It's essentially latency related. It's always occasionally been a problem, but mind you that it's not necessarily a problem of *your* connection. The reason so many people are seeing it suddenly is because the duty servers are more loaded than they have been in many months, with a lot of players new and old playing that weren't before. Mudras face similar problems in duty servers (compare using them in the residential district to using them in the raid/Coil server on a Tuesday night, for instance).

If you had the the tiniest brain in history you still wouldn't comprehend what I said. I SAID that a GOOD healer knows when ITS SAFE to DPS. Like I said just cause YOU don't like something doesn't mean OTHERS CANT. they gave use cleric stance because it would help with DPS checks and other BS that requires high DPS other wise it wouldn't turn out mind stat into a intelligence stat that RIVALS BLACK MAGE aka A HIGH DPS CLASS. They gives us tools to use and if you don't like to use your entire toolkit then enjoy being the person who likes to not help out a group to the BEST of THEIR ability. I know that you can accomplish more but your either afraid, don't like to take risk, or are just plain LAZY.

Edit: This is the last post I will say anything about a DPSing healer cause I'm gonna respect the posters that want this to stay on topic.

They should just get rid of the stance dancing crap, let it only be used outside combat. Healers should just heal, not dps, its not their role. Its like saying the DPS should tank/heal. This is a Trinity type of MMO, keep it that way or change it to GW2 style.

If you're not DPSing when on Bismarck's back you're a liability to the group, I don't care what class you're playing as.

On topic, I too am having problems with it much more frequently then pre-Heavensward. Now I have to "make sure" I'm hitting Cleric Stance, otherwise I'm wondering why I'm not in Cleric Stance, or worse, out of it.

I do understand what you said. Ill stick to the topic for the OP, and say this wouldn't be an issue if they didn't implement this horrible cleric stance mechanic.

This has nothing to do with the topic you're in.

It could be but I'm not so sure. I'm not having issues getting out of AOE's or other spells acting sluggish. Why would latency only affect my CS?

In all honesty I find this view really narrow minded. Whilst FF is a Trinity type MMO we all need to be flexible within those roles ... healer dies, I can pop out a heal or two hopefully until we can rez them ... Tank dies we can summon Mr Tanky pet until we can rez ... DPS die or is lacking, healers can help with DPS ... I really don't see the problem here what so ever, it's called group work

Yep happening to me too, it's incredibly laggy turning off. I end up double tapping to get it off but it's so slow it turns back on and then I have to wait to turn it off again.

I've just started healing on my conjurer and notice this quite often, but I also notice it on my SMN when moving between insta cast spells and cast time spells, so maybe it's a general problem rather than just being with Cleric Stance.
