Your Stance on Cleric Stance

[loreleidiangelo]

I think the role is fine as it is. DPS is something you utilize during downtime, and that you can try to plan opportunities for. If you want to keep healers busier, slip in more fights and dungeons where they might need to utilize hots, shields, or plan cooldowns.

Your last statement I think is the true crux of the debate. I don't think a single skilled player here would argue that if you CAN DPS as a healer, you should. But there's quite a few of us who think that healing throughput is tuned too high and damage rates tuned too low such that there are a lot more windows where you CAN DPS than there probably "should" be.

Obviously even that point is a subjective view, but I get frustrated when people handwave away arguments about the overarching complications stemming from the healer DPS meta with "you just want to be lazy and run around in circles and jump instead of actually contributing".
