Pretty sure Yoshi-P said that combining SMN and SCH was a mistake and they’re never doing it again.

We used to have cleric stance, which swapped your MND and INT stats and allowed healers to DPS, but it led to a meta the devs didn’t like where healers were expected to stance dance and manage the party’s health bars while maximizing DPS.

I used to main healer and partway through I decided that MSQ was a pain, so I just leveled a DPS on the side. Spend a couple days in PotD/HoH and it will be all caught up.
