Cleric Stance Discussion - Is it needed?

[Ama_Hamada]

They could introduce a single target DPS spell for healers that is based on their MND that is weaker than their stronger spells as a way to give them the opportunity to DPS without Cleric Stance. The loss in DPS would be from either not using the DoTs or them being weaker and not using your stronger DPS spells, but it would at least give them the opportunity to deal safer damage however those who feel comfortable would have the opportunity to use Cleric Stance.

I think the same mentality they are using for Enochain should go into other jobs as well, just lower the ceiling so it's safer for those who don't feel comfortable going intoCleric Stance to DPS so that they can do something when there is no healing required.

However overall I think that if you want anything relevant done on the healer focus, the Dev team has to go to the drawing board and introduce content which offer unique mechanics to the support jobs and gives them reward for reacting to them properly.

Enochain is not the same as cleric stance. Enochain change is needed because how mechanics cause you to move and have the thing vanish at times. Also when you die on a new Enochain, your down time is way too large. All these problems is not shared with cleric stance.

Enochain was not changed to only make things easier, it was changed because it is an unfair mechanic compared to other jobs. I am farily sure after a death, BLM's damage was just way too far behind of any other class, same with vanishing boss mechanics. PLUS! BLMs have to stand still for too long, compered to others.
