I chose BRD for swift gameplay, if I wanted to cast I would have chosen a Mage.

The stance has a 15 second cooldown upon use. It's not something you can switch on and off in a GCD like sword oath/shield oath.

Why not instead ask SE to make it share the same recast timer as Cleric stance instead of asking to outright remove it from the game?

Cleric stance makes healing in this game a lot of fun and adds a level of complexity that healers lack in other games. Having a turret damage like stance for bard and a stance that lets them move but do less damage also requires critical thinking and gives makes things more varied and fun.

I still think this sounds more fun than 2.0 bard.
