A simple revamp to Cleric Stance that might fix raid balancing..

It certainly wouldn't lead to anything good.

Again, this would be better for the developers, not necessarily the players.

Other MMOs deal with healers DPSing by making it so they can't really DPS, but those are MMOs where each class has multiple specs, one of them always being a DPS spec for soloing.

Cleric Stance would be "DPS spec" for healers in this game, since there's no other option. If other MMOs had healing classes that were as strong as XIV's, they'd have similar issues in balancing raiding.

Really, subtracting the whole "We do/n't balance around healer DPS" issue from the equation would help XIV's raid balancing immensely.

Yea this change would be bad for the devs because it would absolutely result in massive uproar from the community.

So basically you want healing to be like in WoW. If you want WoW healing go play WoW.
