Never healed before in my life in a game until now and I gotta say....

Same reason Warriors used to get Defiance at lvl 30 without anything to use it with. It happens. It's absolutely terrible design but it happens.

Again, that's not the point... Defiance back then still changed your stats and gave you increased enmity. You could use it and it did "do" something for your job even without any actual skills to couple it.... I can use Diurnal Sect being level 30-34.. but nothing affects it and I don't get any boosts for activating the stance to begin with.
