Level 16 Conjurer Trait Change?

[Verdan]

Honestly, I think the weirdest thing about healers is how Cleric Stance(a level 6 conjurer skill) makes the whole archtype work. A scholar without cleric stance is... really bad, actually. Try it, the biggest allure of the scholar is totally gone. And who in the world would be able to stomach soloing as an Ast without it? Try that too! They don't even have good potencies! Gear all has mind on it, all our weapons have mind on them, and we like it cause it lets us do damage as well as heal. The quest design and several activities are based on the idea that every class can hold their own, and the itemization is based on the idea that mind is an all purpose stat, and none of that would work at all without cleric stance.

I don't think it should take up a slot. I think it should be an additional level 1 ability that conjurers get, or a level 1 ability for Ast/Cnj and level 30 ability for scholar. This frees up a slot at level 6 for something new, defining, and interesting for the white mage(the possibilities are endless!) while doing no harm at all to anyone. There isn't another cross class skill like this, the whole healer gameplay experience is based on the idea that all of them have cleric stance.
