Cleric stance = Commendation

[Leadleaf]

I'm usually playing healer for dungeons as it's usually the most dps I can contribute to DF, the average healer usually standbying so many gcds even in overgeared areas, rather than nuking.

I frankly don't care what the healer is doing as long as that healer is doing their main job. My comms usually goes to tanks or healers that can adapt from a bad situation.

I guess my experiences have been different. As a SCH as my job of choice, I have been groomed to stance dance between DPSing and healing. My efforts are usually unnoticed or hated because I tend to get no commendations when I stance dance flawlessly in dungeons while usually walk out with 2 or 3 commendations when I feel lazy and full heal.

As a whm who dps' often, my rotation is this for a speed run super big pull such as a full room of a dungeon.
The tank pulls everything to a spot and just before he stops I use eye for an eye, divine seal cure 2 spam till he is full health. Then I cast medica 2 and regen, mixing in cure 2s to keep the tank alive. Making sure that all my heals over time we're done with divine seal on for max heals.
Then I quickly cleric stance, swift cast holy. Then during the brief cool down downtime I use shroud of saints and presence of mind and holy spam. I can take about half of all the monsters HP before I got to heal again. If damage is too low and I got to dps a bit more I'll use benediction between holy spams so I can use holy a bit more without the tank dying. Then I just cure 2 spam to keep the tank alive after switching back out of CS.

Don't underestimate holy. I can safely say without that, it would be very difficult to do those pulls.
I hope the party appreciates the skill involved with making that possible and doesn't just assume CS=bad healer.

So I have been levelling cnj. Made it to 15 and ran Satasha, played with cleric for a bit. Jumped into Copperbell Mines...No cleric for me! Made it through by the skin of my teeth. Kudos again to the clerics, a lot going on if you are juggling.

As you run dungeons over and over, you'll learn when big damage goes out and it becomes easier to go into Cleric.
I know the first.....fifty levels I was too nervous to use it, hahaha......

What about Stoneskin? You don't even have to exit Cleric Stance to Stoneskin the tank from taking damage .

Unfortunately stoneskin is far too slow and inefficient. Better to drop out of CS, cast my cures, and pop back in.

This tells me you'll make a great WHM. Using CS is all about gauging your skills, the tank's skills, and the dungeon to tell when you can use it.

I love stance dancing on my whm. As i am leveling my pld to 50, i'll give most of my commendations to a dancing healer if its done correctly.
