The grand return of Cleric Stance, with a twist

[fulminating]

As I said, oof, no.

Cleric Stance was a bad ability and was removed from the game for good reason. It caused gaps between top and bottom healers that made balancing encounters for "the average party" nearly impossible, it discouraged damage dealing.

Are you saying that the removal of cleric is what directly caused tighter enrages? After all a narrower gap between the better and worse healers allows ‘fair’ enrages to be tuned significantly more precisely than when the healer contribution is much more variable.
