I would like to break normal forum protocols & thank SE for actually making healers extra fun to play by providing us with a serviceable level of DPS. I'm not stupid -- I don't expect my WHM or SCH to keep pace with a BLM or BRD, but I am absolutely more than capable of quickly filling a role or burning through enemies at a reasonable pace while soloing.

Stance Dancing between offensive and healing setups mid-battle has been quite enjoyable and keeps it fun and engaging for a class-type that traditionally stares mindlessly at health bars.

No game is perfect, but this is one of the best I've found for a healer to enjoy themselves when they're not spamming heals.
