Can SE please remove Repose!

[Wawachume]

Repose is a waste, cant sleep anything that matters and AOE's are common now.

A waste of what, though? Repose doesn't seem to be using up any finite resource just by sitting on my action bar. I'm not sure it's fair to call it a waste if it's not actually wasting anything.

I haven't managed to use repose in Shadowbringers, aside from the role quest, but I'm happy to keep it around just in case.

Honestly, these threads kind of confuse me in general. If you want cleric stance back, why not just make a "bring back cleric stance" thread? Removing repose seems to have nothing to do with it. I'm pretty sure the reason we don't have cleric stance in Shadowbringers isn't because the developers really wanted to put it in but decided they only had room for six role actions and repose was just more important.

AND PLEASE MAKE IT MATTER. 5% for 15sec with a 90sec recast wont cut it for SCH and AST, WHM would benefit from it though. Maybe Cleric Stance could have different affects for each healer and improve where they lack from other healers "WHM"

I don't know that I like the idea of having different versions of a role action for different jobs. I'd rather just give them completely separate abilities with their own lore and whatnot.

Besides, I think cleric stance only works for white mage.

WHM is big on GCD abilities and personal DPS. So with every GCD you're either healing or attacking, but usually not both. Both versions of cleric stance worked by creating a "damage window" of sorts, either stance- or cooldown-based, and that kind of thing can work well with WHM since it already separates healing and DPS.

Scholar, though, tends to heal and DPS at the same time, weaving oGCD heals with GCD damage spells. It also---at least before Shadowbringers---did a lot of its damage with DoTs, which again was concurrent with healing because the DoTs could just keep running while you healed.

Basically, SCH has traditionally been more about management and planning, in contrast to WHM's focus on big bangs of healing and damage. Cleric stance, to me, would just push SCH more in the direction of WHM.

Astrologian, meanwhile, just has less use for a personal damage boost since a lot of their DPS comes from buffing other people's damage.
