Cleric Stance

[RiceisNice]

Which was why I said 'aside from stance dancing in duties', because I didn't want to get into that whole deal. And yes, you can meld... theoretically you always could, by getting crafted gear instead of tomestone/dungeon gear. Doesn't really change that it'd be easier to add even a small bonus to Cleric Stance, similar to how they did with tank stances. 5% wouldn't be that much, considering healer Accuracy is lower than tank Accuracy anyway, but it'd help.

Unless there's a level difference (and I'm talking 2+ levels), you wouldn't be missing on open world mobs. You can also meld accuracy on raid gear now.

I agree to a degree, I think this is true but as I've stated in my original post, I tend to find time in some instances where I can dps. This often happens from the tank not taking a lot of dmg or because I am healing him with skills that allow this opening. I'd prefer to use this time to also help dps with the few damage skills I have rather than twiddle my thumbs together waiting for a position that requires my full attention on healing to come along.

Also, I am not trying to say that I would do this in a fight that I didn't know or wasn't experienced in dealing with but... for those that I am completely comfortable with... well why not?

Then honestly, nothing is stopping you from dpsing anyway if the game allows for it (no healing is needed), just not as effective as an actual dps job if accuracy is the problem. If we're looking at the likes of SCH their effective dps isn't terribly behind (and in some cases, match or even exceed, such as A2 or similarly large aoe pulls). Realistically, you're either lowering their effective damage (where then their solo play suffers) or have a miss rate in party play (which can be mitigated to an extent with BRD and melds), and I'd think the later is the issue at hand here. Trying to get extra accuracy attached to cleric stance is essentially asking to be put on an even field with DDs in the dps aspect, which shouldn't be the reason.
