    I find Cleric Stance a bit awkward. It's now a role skill so the cleric reference is lost, and it's not a stance any more. Though at least the new version is less confusing to new players (every new CNJ I met would at first be confused about whether they should use it to heal, based on its name and the D&D interpretation of a cleric being different to the mundane version).

    I personally find Deliverance and Defiance a bit confusing too. Their meanings are too similar to clearly show which is which from the names alone... and the words themselves are similar lengths with similar endings and beginnings. I recognise the buff icons just fine but the names of the abilities themselves tell me nothing.

    I always thought they should be switched based on the meanings of the names. "Deliverance" feels more like a tank stance since it has that connotation of "rescue" (i.e. rescuing the party by taking all the attacks to the face), where as "Defiance" feels more DPS-y to me since the word itself has a more confrontational connotation. Or at least that's how they seem to me.
