now every healer is a heal + dps hybrid. that's a fine playstyle. but why has every healer this playstyle? i don't like it, i want another type of healer. give us more options besides the dpsing healer.
But again, how would you ever level that as a primary class? You wouldn't be able to do the MSQ with it. Healer DPS exists because the primary means of interacting with the game world is killing stuff.

They'd need to put Cleric Stance back in, but as a toggle like AST sects: once you go into DPS stance, you *can't* come out. That is about the only way to eliminate healer DPS in group content without breaking the solo game for healing classes.
