Are you the loud minority? (Healer feedback)

I get why removing cleric stance was necessary since it was really clunky

(I agree with your post, but wanna touch on this, than rant on my own)
They never needed to remove it. They just needed it to stop being clunky lol. Too many spells are 2.5s cast times, which means u have to clip, to swap. This is the 2nd most annoying part about cleric stance. (it would be pretty fun, if u could swap, even mid cast, even though the system isnt designed to handle that)

But the BIGGEST problem, is that you had to wait 6s before you were allowed to heal again... and if "6s to turn off" HAD to stay, thats the OPPOSITE of how it should have been designed. And of course, the BEST way to make it, so everyone ENJOYS the mechanic, is to make it a toggle on and off with NO cd whatsoever!

Had they made QoL changes to Cleric Stance, it would have been fine. (and honestly all tanks/healers throughout SB/ShB changes) but SE is obsessed with throwing away good ideas, because they were implemented annoyingly. "But the players said they didnt like it, so we threw it away".
DRK had to double weave VERY long animation oGCDs, causing clipping. So SE shortened "some" of the oGCDs, and still not enough in many ways. So instead of just fixing it, they completely changed DRK to SB version of DRK, to minimize this problem. Many oGCDs couldnt combo with DA anymore. But DRK was still trying to throw out as much oGCDs as possible, and along with other issues at the time, plenty of ppl complained about DRK. (3.0 players were just upset DRK lost so much, and all they wanted was minor fixes, instead of the stuff being thrown away) and now SE was like, we remade it into the ShB DRK... just press 123 and no more problems! We combined DA and oGCDs into 1 skill, no longer do you need to turn your brain on!

They still mess up a LOT on DPS jobs, but they clearly put far more effort into them, and it shows.

edit: looked up the timer, its 6s, not 12s. idk why i remember 12s lol
