Stancedancing Techniques

[Classikal]

I just revived WHM 2 days ago to help with my Zodiac dungeon item farming for BRD. And I am really quite enjoying it again.

The thrill of trying to balance Cleric Stance and Holy spam while keeping the tank alive during fights, and knowing when/where you can get away with damage, is exhilarating.

I have found a new love for Presence of Mind and Benediction during trash pulls to help extend the amount of time I can spam Holy on bigger pulls before I need to heal the tank again.

I do admit though, that I still have some fine-tuning to do. I've done about 40 dungeons or so since I brought WHM back to the playing field, and in those 40 dungeons there have been about 2 times, (individual pulls) where I got a little ahead of myself and misjudged the amount of Holy's I can get off and missed the tanks heal by like a split second and let him die right at the end. ><; Which is honestly 2 times too much.

Most of the trash pulls my tanks are straight, I prep them up with a combination of Eye for an Eye, Divine Seal, and Regen make sure they are topped off and then go into spamming Holy. I'll keep an eye on their HP while doing it though and keep my finger ready on Benediction if it is up on bigger pulls, if needed. I honestly really wish Benediction was a lower recast though, 5 minutes is a lot. But it's really nice how I can use it perfectly even with Cleric Stance up. 95% of the time my tanks never get below 5k HP before the pull is dead. Cure them back up and move on.

My question though, is what kind of limits do you set on yourself to be able to maximize the amount of time you can DPS, while not endangering the party?

The addition of WHM DPS in a party helps a lot. And if you have good DPS already the mobs just absolutely melt when you add Holy on top of it.
