DPSing as a healer

[loreleidiangelo]

Cleric stance trains people to be better healers. Sounds odd, but Cleric stance adds room for error which in turn creates disasters which gives someone the opportunity to "OH ****" healing moments.

I know recovering from "OH ****" healing moments (usually) has made me a better healer and if Healer's didn't DPS and cleric's stance didn't exist then it'd be very hard for those moments to...create themselves.

So you're saying the game basically had to invent a brand new punishment mechanic (CS) to actually make healing in this game difficult? I can't be the only person who views it as a serious issue with healing potencies and encounter design, yeah? If we need a "button" to make our lives as a healer hard, then I feel like the game has failed on more levels than just one.
