If you disable cleric stance during combat, when would you use it?

I'm going to take a wild guess that you haven't done t13? Or really, any fcob where people make mistakes, or any coil pre-echo...

Not that I disagree with the premise of your post, but there are fights like this in the game. Admittedly it's not really applicable to dungeons.

To be fair to that bolded part, I will have to agree with with the poster you're quoting.

If S-E truly wanted to minimize the Cleric Stance usage in raid content, I feel they should increase the healing intensity so there are less opportunities for a healer to activate Cleric Stance. I wouldn't necessarily say increase the amount of DPS the raid bosses output, but instead increase the frequency they occur. Instead of one Flatten, they could add 3 Flattens at like 60% power over the course of 15 seconds. Stuff like that. Things that require the healer to potentially stay out of Cleric Stance longer to handle "oops" factor.

I find that suggestion is better than the paintbrush solution of "OMG DISABLE CLERIC STANCE IN DUTY FINDER".

The way I see it, we're getting more options. As has been noted in other threads, raid DPS checks aren't done taking healer DPS into account. You can find groups that won't make you DPS. But for those that enjoy that extra bit of minmaxing, we now have more tools.

I think this is a point that is sorely missed in many of these "Healer DPS" discussion. I like having the tools to play at a higher caliber than the average player, and I want to keep those tools. Not lose them. While I won't disrespect any healer who only heals if there are opportunities to go up and beyond your role, I won't praise them in the same vein.
