Do you know healer DPS is easier in easier content?

Hopefully they're going to announce tomorrow they're removing cleric stance and just having MND affect spell damage for the healers. It was just an unnecessary toggle that complicated things at best and drove people away from DPSing at worst.

Not really. The whole point of Cleric Stance is to force healers to make a decision on whether they can get away with NOT healing for 2 GCDs. It's always a risk to toggle it and I think it should stay. What they should do is make Cleric Stance more robust and not prone to accidentally not triggering due to latency/packet loss. You shouldn't be in danger because the game's netcode accidentally drops the signal to turn off Cleric Stance.

Right. An unnecessary toggle to get the same damage you get in other games for free that's only been put in this game to create complexity. Hopefully they're removing it tomorrow.

In my experience, cleric stance has nothing to do with it. The healers I get have plenty of time to safely use it and they'd rather over heal or do nothing. Even in a12s, the healers have at least 15 seconds of heal free time when I pull, and they almost never dps during that time. It's just like someone on the tank forums said: it's not even a skill gap, it's a participation gap.
