Like Holy shit people! Cleric stance goes down and everyone looses their damned minds. The hostility towards healers went from 10 to 100. Listen I get that everyone has a hard on for dpsing healers but please keep this in mind.

Our dps output depends on you. If you're not avoiding damage. We can't can't dps. But if you keep from getting hurt then you'll have all the dps you want <3

We don't need to avoid AOEs now that healers can rescue us.

I can already picture Black Mages commenting on healers not removing them from AoEs xD

As a WHM I bring the deeps now with the new cleric stance, figure out how to heal yourself!

After a good night's rest, I realized I no longer have to leave cleric to tetra my tank.

All is well.

Maybe they should add a dps stance for dps classes so that healers don't need to make up the dps difference in some content. Seems to me that the issue lies with the dps and not the healers.

I just have never seen this hate. Maybe people are hating on the "bad" healers. I have been yelled at one time by a tank that was mass pulling in The Aery and I didn't heal him enough so he died. Every other run I get lots of commendations and someone usually says good run or good job.

Healing and DPSing is the mark of a good healer, and everyone loves a good healer. I'm looking forward to the new cleric stance changes, because I will have to worry even less about misclicking a button while stance dancing.

The first time I see anyone demand this regardless of the role I'm playing it will be a vote kick. Last thing we need to do is excuse more bad habits.

Yes! And now that you know it's going away, doesn't that cooldown just seem to take FOREVER, especially if you accidentally click it? Every time I go into CS now I think happily about how I won't ever have to do that again after the expansion launches.

I don't think this issue has ever been up for debate though? :/ I mean, in most (if not all) threads I've seen on this matter, players who are "in favor" of DPS-ing healers agree that a healer's first and foremost duty is to keep the party alive - this will obviously cut into DPS time if the rest of the party are having fun eating up every single hit dished out by mobs.

Usually the rage against heal-only healers stems from the fact that some healers insist on overhealing and keeping everyone topped off ALL the time, staying put when no damage is happening, and thus not contributing as much as they could.
