I'll believe it when I see it in HW! :P

The stance change limitation doesn't bother me. The only thing I'm wondering about is what it's going to be like to always raise without swiftcast, I can't wait to find out.

Just play with bad dps, gotta raise em all lol. Ultima hm, titan fights, anything with plumes xD

They r gonna be the bad asses of pvp healing i bet.
"Can only switch stance when not in battle "

Really fits Astrologian in my opinion. The Job is meant to predict the future, having to go into a fight locked into a stance means you have to try and do that yourself, think ahead and decide what will be better for the upcoming fight; mitigation or raw healing power.

Umm the referenced article notes AST gets skills from Arcanist and conjures but aren't there from Thm/wht? Maybe the article is not accurate about stance dance as well- http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/125...vent-5-18-5-21

I can see a reason why SE wouldn't allow changing between barrier and pure healing stance on the fly mid-combat.

It could more or less completely remove the point to both SCH and WHM due to the amount of flexibility. Of course, this is [only] an idea, and probably not the truth.

I dont see the point of making a out of combat stance change. If i want to heal like a scholar, ill switch to my scholar. If i want to heal like a white mage, ill switch to my white mage. The thing that i really was looking forward to in Ast was the stance changing, sure i wouldn't mind a 5 min cool down in battle, it would force me to be resourceful with my current skills and stance to suit the fight.

Again i don't see the point in make a out of combat stance change for a class that will be sub par compared to the dedicated healers, kinda seems pointless from a raid stand point, as the card buff will really have to be good enough to be considered over the sch/whm or whm/whm meta right now.

We don't even have a source from OP though so.....

ITT: Assumptions.
You're all hee-hawing about junk and how it's going to replace so and so
and we have no idea what's going to happen. So much doom et gloom.
Who has time Machine this time so I can go into HW and see what's
all the fuss is about. I must've missed something. >___>

Translation depending - but didn't he say during the last live letter that he advised people learn one stance, then the other before stance dancing with the two?

Doesn't have much weight, but that to me implies they can switch? :X

Again though, if there are links or guides can we have one that states they cant switch? unless I've overlooked something in the bluegartr link, I still haven't seen it written anywhere.

Reluctant to believe the unofficial LL the guy held last night without a written source...call me stubborn.
