Cleric Stance is dead!

[Leigaon]

I'm sure that's an easier adjustment for them. Remember, they said damage will scale with Mind so we will have to wait to see exactly what scales. The damage boost from the new cleric could mean lower overall damage but a larger burst.

Will be interesting to see.

Don't you love how people is so lazy that only read the title and replay stuff already posted by someone?

Well, I don't share some players delight that 'cleric stance is dead', however the change being made makes sense. Conjurers should not have to flip their minds to do damage, their magic is Mind based, as should their damage be. I like the change of CS into a damage buff, like Raging Strikes is. This streamlines things a bit, although it does reduce the strategic thought needed to play healer well. I hope it does not lead to further homogenization of jobs in the same role, but I rather suspect that it will.

I loved CS Alot where it was at. It made it exciting to have that risk where you was healing on the wrong stance. Just the risk is/ was exciting... Now...ehh

I think it is a good baseline change as it was requiring healers to give up their primary purpose to fulfill an important but ultimately secondary purpose, now they don't have to accidentally face plant. However, perhaps they can bring that feeling into a specific type of job but I think this is actually a really simple but good change for healers as a whole.

Makes it easier on everyone lol. Healers can more easily DD without feeling awful that they did 200hp cure and party wiped, meanwhile people can be like "your dps doesn't suck so please do it" :P.

I'm curious how many will not slot esuna though

Highly likely they clicked on the thread and just replied slower than others to a thread that was blank or only a few posts.. we're live man.

And they said that it is optional to use

It's optional to use, but now it's just a buff; even without it, there's no excuse for not dpsing now. It's perfectly safe to now that it's as simple as cancelling your current cast if someone suddenly needs a heal.

Oh yeah if you go further down in my post you see that I said that, not sure if you were trying to correct me or agree

But yes absolutely, healers now should attempt to contribute in the damage department (of course primary purpose is still to heal, but to damage deal is much easier and reasonable request onto healers).

I didn't mean optional like "optional to do damage" I meant it like they said it is optional to slot the ability, like you don't need cleric stance is how they made it sound.

Could someone please point out where the changes are listed? I'd like to know what's going on. Thanks!

No excuse to not DPS as a healer expect a kick now if you want to stand around and do nothing

They're going over a lot of stuff so there is somethings you'll have to back track onto~ Mostly UI changes, so if you start now you should get to go over it as a unit still.

Some things come to mind like, tank role stun skill, bunch of defense stuff, goad for all melee and an ability that lets you ignore directional for 15 seconds, stuff like that.
