When I was a beginner healer I tried the whole stance dance well epic fail the tank died everyone yelled and vote kicked me I think I was harder on myself then they were..lol before I got really comfortable with healing I wouldn't dare touch cleric stance....

Now a days I'm dpsing more then I probably should but I'm healing twice the dmg the tank is taking so honesty only do what you are comfortable with...but if dps are taking dmg keep dpsing lmao some dps tend to self inflict their own problems these days
