    Remember that we are talking about dungeons under level 20. At those levels, players' MND and INT stats are very close to one another, and Cleric's Stance provides very marginal improvements
    Cleric Stance
    Swaps current INT and MND attribute ratings, while increasing damage dealt by attack magic by 10% and reducing spell-based HP restoration by 20%. Effect ends upon reuse. Cannot be used in PvP areas.

    It doesn't only swap INT and MND.

    Cleric Stance should be in slot one but if people want to put Protect there that is fine. In general this should be a non-issue. Whether a healer slots Protect or Cleric Stance in slot one the dungeon can still be easily completed. The only difference is speed/efficiency so I doubt most rational logical people in this game would care either way.

    OP ran into people that were extremely salty over a non-issue to the point of trying to wipe the group by over pulling to make their point about Protect being necessary true....but then still failed.

    Healers who want to put Cleric in Slot 1 because they are able to deal with the loss of extra defense in order to add more DPS, great, it is more efficient in the long run. But if some healers wish to slot Protect first sure that is their choice and it is totally fine, but don't argue that Protect has to be in slot one because you believe it is more efficient. It isn't. The incoming damage is so weak in low level dungeons that it is way more efficient to add DPS if you are experienced enough to do so.
