Please change Cleric Stance cooldown to on-deactivate

Umm don't use cs then. Complaining that it has a CD. Most skills do.

Most people seem to think that's grounds for kicking from parties, so that isn't really an option.

Previous 3 posts: He's not complaining about the cooldown. He's actually requesting that it gets an additional cooldown on deactivation. Cooldown on activation isn't the problem, it's lag/latency and repeatedly clicking, not being sure if the game will actually remove it, only to have it be disabled and immediately activated again. Adding a small cooldown on deactivation would help reduce instances of accidentally reactivating when you need to switch back to healing.

I'm actually not requesting an additional cooldown on deactivation, but honestly that would be fine, too. Basically anything that stops these frequent lag-caused accidents.

It's better to have Cleric Stance cool down on activation.

It forces you to commit to your decision to go on the offense, and allows you to deactivate, instant heal, and reactivate it in one fluid sequence. If it were to cool down on deactivation instead, there would be a lot of wasted GCDs waiting for it to cool down, since nuking without it on is a waste of MP.

Every time I deactivate cleric stance it's because I need to spend several GCDs healing everyone up. I have never at any point in my two years of healing in this game wished that I could go back into cleric stance sooner.

Outside of a raid context, you can heal entire dungeons with just stance-off,EssentialDignity,stance-on, which is less than one GCD; or with stance-off,instant GCD heal, stance-on, which is over one GCD but still way less than five seconds. In a raid/trial context, the fights are quite structured, your stance windows are dictated by the fight script, and once you're familiar with the fight, you should know ahead of time when you should not be in cleric stance.
