The grand return of Cleric Stance, with a twist

[Renathras]

Funny, a "cleric stance" is implemented in other games and the sky doesn't fall.

Never played Aion. What kind of game is it? Is that ability forced on all healing classes or just one?

Are you sure about your assumptions there? I'll give you a chance to actually look at the math. You might want to take it before you make yourself look a little silly.

You're going to have to be more specific than that.

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.

/sigh

What are you on about this time?

Enrages were tuned to where healer DPS was included before the change, they were just badly tuned towards the higher end of the spectrum, making it impossible to clear without it.

Just make dungeons in a way that l need to heal all the time... I want to play healer, not a green dps.

100% agreed.

It's a nice idea, but have you thought through what that actually entails?

I know you like dropping this as a trump card, but have you EVER considered that people HAVE thought about it?

Weaker heals (especially AOEs and oGCDs), more frequent but smaller damage. It's not hard. You're smart enough to know that.

I just want anyone who asks this to go and do either P10S, and do Harrowing Hell there, or do P1 of TEA. Imagine that healing amount required, but that is now what EX roulette looks like too. That, is 'healing required in a way that means I need to heal all the time' and I don't expect it'd go over well with... well, most players, really.

As above: Your contention here is...what? That healer ability potencies are set in stone and cannot be altered? Because the only way this argument carries weight is if healer potencies cannot be changed at any time.
