Cleric Stance removed??

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

Well to be fair they just putting it back the way it was so the 2.0 bards lost their playstyle when 3.0 released. So can't really say feel sorry for 3.0 bards.

You still have your play style though. Both BRD and MCH are losing the aiming time, so there is zero way to enjoy that play style again, for either range.

Which really bites, because I actually enjoyed aiming a hell of a lot more than running around pretending I was Naruto.

Well I guess you in the same boat as people that play whm and enjoyed cleric stance.

Cleric Stance is the most awful waste of time skill a healer has, I won't miss it at all.

[Centershock]

Indeed. But I will be leaving it.

Bye Felicia.

I, for one, am glad for this change because this means I don't have to worry about doing 251 healing instead of 3572 because I FORGOT TO TURN IT OFF.

The current Cleric Stance is a 10% buff for as long as I want it, with my damage calculated based on my (usual) MND stat because it's been swapped with INT.

The new Cleric Stance is a 5% buff for 15 seconds with a 90 second cool-down, and damage calculated based on MND because... ?

Both of these are "optional", but there's no way I can match the damage of the first with the second.

Current cleric stance is a 10% buff to Damage after all calculations take place. Since you DPS heal you are fully melded with Accuracy. (And you still can miss)

New cleric is a 5% potency (Example, you cast stone 3, its 210 potency is now 220.5 potency with the new cleric stance) increase that takes affect before all calculations. As you no longer have to have accuracy melds you will have a greater amount of Det (which increases Damage dealt based on potency) And crit. (Or Direct Hit which is the love child of the two if they allow it on non DPS classes) You also no longer miss against mobs your level. So no missed attacks also means higher DPS.

Also damage is based on mind So you don't have to rely on a CD that can lock you out of healing for 5 seconds if you screw up and register two clicks instead of just one.

The OP has 24+ posts all involving the changes to SB. If it really bothered them enough to quit they would have simply quit and moved on.

So since they didn't this is either attention seeking or trolling. Either way the "im quitting" threads are stupid.

I can finally give more help to DPS without worry Also, it can help on dongeon to help on big pack without worry there is something block u a sec to heal. Each sec counts.

Welcome to change, it does and a lot of the times needs to happen.

I will not miss it because I'll dps more without stance dancing

With a 5% buff to damage potency instead of 10%, a 15 second limit instead of unlimited, and a 90 second cooldown. That's interesting.

I prefer more efficient gameplay

Hitting (the current) Cleric Stance doesn't put anything else in cool down though. It's basically instant to switch.

often double clicking it and putting someone's life in danger.

Sounds like a problem with the interface rather than the game. I don't know how players using a mouse match the speed of those of us using a controller. But adding a 1 second cooldown on activating the current Cleric Stance would have fixed this.

What I don't like is new CS cross class buff is extremelly weak and extremelly short, maybe I'll take something more useful for a healer in its place.

Exactly.
