Can we do something with Cleric Stance?

This is SE's way of nerfing healers because they are so afraid to touch ARC. (Despite ARC needs nerfing anyhow due to SMN's main dmging kits, and the smn pet system revamped to actually make smn a smn.)

Hold on, this relation I don't get at all. What does every healer's DPS being nerfed through accuracy have to do with not touching ARC, considering SCH has the highest unmissable potency and an AoE mechanic that ignores missing as well?

If only bio, B2 and shadow flare would be enough to dps down at a relative speed. It doesn't change the fact that it doesn't help if Miasma, Broil and Ruin miss. (Miasma 2 is gabarge over all in potency, I'd only use it for a quickie aoe IE:Shadow Flare + Miasmia 2 + Blizzard 2). I'm not gonna bane if one of my dots are missing, even then if we have time to dps there is the matter of broil and Blizzard 2 missing. It's sad really.

As for the point of healer dps being nerfed, the only class that needs to be nerfed on damage is SCH. At-least in my opinion. WHM and AST get penalized on the mp pool when they focus on dpsing, especially if they aoe. SCH can recover from the shortage easily. Even if energy drains misses, the mp restore effect still happens. If it wasn't for the 3.0 expansion. Comparing SMN to SCH is just a matter of using Fester since the egi's damage are sub-optimal.

I see your angle now. Yeah, SCH vs SMN was merely SMN Fester and Raging Strikes vs SCH Aero, disregarding the egis. While I don't see SCH DPS needing to be nerfed, I do share that the ease at which they can do it and especially AoE is a pretty big insult towards AST and WHM, mostly WHM with the increasing accuracy demands.

Even for single targeting it's an insult to any healer. I'm getting a sense that SE is pushing WHM to be dominant in aoe damage while SCH will stay stronger single target wise. Would make sense to me, since having a healer that could do it all is kind of bs.
