Adding Stances

[Silver-Strider]

I don't see Cleric Stance ever returning for WHM. I can see SE combining the SB version of Cleric Stance with Presence of Mind to have it increase WHM's damage/SpS all in 1 convenient package than adding in a mechanic that, while fun for some, wasn't without issue either. Glare mages scare me enough as is that I don't want them to go even more DPS crazy and forget to turn off CS when they actually have to heal.

For SCH, I can actually think of 2 Stance Ideas that could work though. Making E-Tactics into a Stance that removes SCH's shielding for just flat out heals and turning Selene into the Noct version of Eos for more mitigation. Adding utility to Seraph, such as Fey Wind, would make Seraph actually feel more powerful, which I feel it needs to be because it just doesn't really feel necessary the majority of the time.

AST has a lot more problems than just Noct sect, which just needs to have the same cost on their abilities as Diurnal sect abilities IMO. Something that AST does need desperately is MP management outside of Lucid Dreaming and Light Speed such as adding a small MP restore on Earthly Star or Celestial Opposition. Then, they need to increase the duration of Divination to 30 seconds to make it actually worth building up 3 seals for as right now, the contribution its providing just isn't good enough to justify AST in raids; Seals also need less RNG associated with them so I suggest that Redraw changes the card you currently have into a guaranteed new seal and that Unplay be changed into Inversion that changes the Card but not the Seal type (So Balance can be changed into Bole, Ewer into Arrow, etc.) Finally, buff Collective Unconsciousness to 150 cure potency so its actually useful because 50 is pitiful.
