Cleric Stance Discussion - Is it needed?

[PocketVolcano]

As i recall from the time i played from the rework of the game it it's more combat/dogde oriented, yes, but FFXIV already has that feeling (we are smashing buttons fast on a rotation of our abilities and runing avoiding AoE), the only thing we dont have about that it's a dash button of some sort... Maybe a couple of abilities that some classes have to move fast from point A to B and thats it if i am not mistaken.

Yes it is! The GCDs are also very similar in speed in WildStar as in FFXIV. Didn't Yoshi say they were putting in a dodge-roll or something? Or was it just suggested? Either way it's a fully implemented mechanic in Wildstar and it works well alongside the high intensity fights and healing demands!

I think the dev team can do more with healer dps and getting some inspo from high action games and how they do it could be a stepping point.

The way i see it thinking about it calmly, it's like they tried to set a middle ground between a FF game and a action-based MMO. Not only Wildstar, a lot of MMO on this day use that kind of 'rotation based skills' + dodge movement to give an intense feeling in their battle system. Also those games have a smaler ability bar, 10 slots or something like that? We have enough buttons as it is (too much for my liking xD) so i dont know how it would fare a dodge system in the game. I know it will be fun adjusting to it in certain combat areas where you die by falling off a cliff.
