Cleric Stance needs a buff

[Transient_Shadow]

at least in 50+ game play. I hope I'm not the only one who is getting increasingly frustrated at how I can't travel without my chocobo out Just to deal damage to enemies.

My SCH literally has to throw everything he has at a basic lvl 57 enemy and it takes over twice the amount of time it would take a summoner

Now, this is new.

I love my CS, but no, it doesn't need to be more powerful. Even in regards to solo content, healers (especially SCH) are stupidly powerful, to the extent that people would probably complain if that content weren't so easy to begin with.

Cleric Stance is fine as it is. Summoner should deal much more damage than Scholar, because otherwise, why even bother playing a DPS job? Just focus on doing leveling dungeons, that's where Healers and Tanks get the most leveling exp.

O.o. Are you sure your SCH is equipped properly for his level. Also note that Heavensward open-world monsters are naturaly stronger than ARR ones, so it's normal to take longer when killing a Heavensward monster than an ARR monster (which incidentally makes soloing Heavensward Fates very tedious compared to soloing ARR FATEs).

Besides that, I can't talk about SCH since it was automatically leveled when I leveled my SMN, but my WHM has no problem killing stuff with cleric stance. It's relatively fast enough.

Well that is how it is supposed to be.
Cleric stance is a tool orginally dessigned for WHM so you could actually level as one from the start. SCH never actually needed it cause you could switch to smn but for some reason they still had the ability to cross class it.
It was never designed so healers could do the same damage as dps while still healing with a switch of a button. Otherwise why would not just bring 6 healers and 2 tanks?

What? Before the whole healers need to do damage the only goal of cleric stance was to help conjurer/white mage level without being a giant burden.

If that were the case, it would have been disabled in dungeon content, and the Healer role would have been far, FAR less popular than the tank role is now.

Erm. In 2.0 its always been a cross class action. Arcanists always equipped INT gears so damage was never an issue. However once you switch to SCH you are stuck with MID gears lest your heals be terrible.

Did you do job quests? SCH gets a potent Broil attack
