Kicked from DR Leveling because I don't slot Protect for low level dungeons?

I'm surprised you wouldn't at least put Protect in the 2nd slot

Oh, absolutely it would be in the second slot for me. Once out of the starter dungeon trio, it'd be Clreic's and Protect.

I'd naturally be a little suspicious that the lack of Protect would just have you out of Cleric Stance more often and spending more time concentrated on healing -- in which case, your refusal to apply Protect in the name of damage would be really frustrating. But at that point, we're kind of splitting hairs and getting too far into "You aren't playing how I want you to play" territory. Never played a Scholar myself, so I'll take your word for it that it'll all come out in the wash -- especially if the fairy makes dungeons at that level such a face-roll as some commenters are saying.

It's not even about the fairy. With WHM, you might as well cast Protect because you have it no matter what (no cross-class swapping required), but even if you didn't (or are an AST who doesn't, as well), nothing bad will happen. You will spend exactly zero more time out of Cleric's than you would with Protect. The presence or lack of Protect in those three dungeons will have no impact on how often you ACTUALLY need to heal your tank.

At most you miss out on doing dps on *ONE* group of mobs and in return you've added a defensive spell to the entire party that lasts 30 minutes.

But hey if you want to do that, that's up to you. I won't kick you for it, but I certainly won't give you a commendation for not casting the most basic defensive spell that us healers have.

So you'd rather I waste an entire minute just standing around so I can cast a spell that essentially does nothing. In Satasha. Protect is THAT important to you that it would override other factors in who you comm, even though it doesn't matter in those dungeons. okay

Also way to ignore my point about why it's not "lazy".
