Cleric Stance is dead!

[Driavna]

Yep, healers use mind to calculate damage and cleric stance is a regular damage buff like raging strike.

It's a damage buff.

TOP KEK.

No more excuses healers.

Would have been happy with just the CD remove, but this is the best outcome imo.

And they said that it is optional to use. . Also appears there are a lot more options than slots, which I didnt expect lol.

Just to add to your post for others, Cleric Stance now temporarily boosts your damage spells and no longer swaps your stats as your damage spells are based on mind.

This does mean though that healer's baseline damage is increased (without stance dancing) making it easier to deal damage.. and less of a reason not to be.

And they said that it is optional to use

It's optional to use, but now it's just a buff; even without it, there's no excuse for not dpsing now. It's perfectly safe to now that it's as simple as cancelling your current cast if someone suddenly needs a heal.

Oh yeah if you go further down in my post you see that I said that, not sure if you were trying to correct me or agree

But yes absolutely, healers now should attempt to contribute in the damage department (of course primary purpose is still to heal, but to damage deal is much easier and reasonable request onto healers).

I didn't mean optional like "optional to do damage" I meant it like they said it is optional to slot the ability, like you don't need cleric stance is how they made it sound.

Yes
10 role skills for 5 roll skill slots
And doing good dmg is still the job of the DPS, not of the healers

Cleric Stance (not a stance) will be staying and will be using MIND for magic damage. It is an action buff. It will be placed in the new ROLE actions so ALL healers do not "have to" use it.
