    Regarding Cleric Stance

    In the patch notes, under new CON abilities "Cleric Stance" is defined as:

    Increases potency of attack spells by 20% and reduces potency of healing spells by 20%. Effect fades upon reuse.
    Recast Time: 30sec.

    To me, this seems backwards for CON and could very well just be an error. Why would it be called Cleric Stance if you are reducing your healing abilities? Shouldn't this actually read:

    Reduces potency of attack spells by 20% and increases potency of healing spells by 20%. Effect fades upon reuse.
    Recast Time: 30sec.

    Or is this really what is intended?

    Possibly for solo or duo if would wish to do a bit more damage and don't need heal too much or don't need big heals.

    This ability is meant for when as CNJ you decide to Nuke. We still have a couple Nuking spells and it IS still very plausible for a CNJ to be a DD Mage either while soloing or doing some party/group stuff (taper farming/spirit bond grind parties for example). In this case, it would be 'safe' for a CNJ to switch to a DD role tossing the occasional heal/SS as needed and otherwise casting from their DD spell list (Stone/Aero). It's just for longer/more difficult battles that this would most likely be an unwise ability to use. (Like in Ifrit).

    What I have shown you is reality. What you remember, that is the illusion.

    I think the nomenclature, more than anything, is what confuses me.

    maybe WHM will get a healing stance ability... since the class is supposed to be for solo, due, light party... and jobs are for full party/raid content as they said before.

    It's because it's the Stance that we (the Clerics) take to defend ourselves. It's the same as shouting I DON'T KNOW YOU THAT'S MY PURSE before kicking our male assailant in the crotch.

    I see it as (poorly) defining the stance.

    "Cleric stance" is what stance I want to be in when I want to be a better "cleric"

    Decreasing healing potency is the opposite of what I want.
