Should Cleric Stance be disabled in party instances?

[Lmcgyver]

Its like saying:
I m a tank, I tank. But I dont use defensive cooldowns or switch to DD-stance as Offtank.
I m a DD, I do damage. But I dont use support skills like mana song or virus.
I m a healer, I heal. But I dont do damage (even when there is nothing to heal).

Each role have to do more than only one job. Speaking of healer, 50% of your job is healing, while 50% is support (in form as extra damage). If you only keep on your main purpose, you re just using only 50% of your potenial.

I was replying to Normalizer, who seemed to be suggesting it wasn't the healer's primary job to heal. I'm fine with a healer putting out damage - I'm a SCH main who spends a lot of time in cleric stance myself - just as long as dealing damage doesn't get in the way of keeping everyone alive. If a healer is not comfortable putting out damage, they should not be forced to. Yes, they *should* deal damage during downtime, but it is by no means a requirement of the job.

I meant ppl should stop thinking a healer's role is to heal, but rather a healer's role is to dps/support/buff/debuff while keeping the party alive :P Make those 2 objective equally instead of screaming healing is the ONE and ONLY role a healer should focus on.

A healer's role *is* to heal. Any damage they can put out is a bonus, and should be a goal to aim for, not a requirement that must be fulfilled.
