Thread: Bring Cleric stance back

I understand they removed it for balancing purposes, but I think it would be cool if healers can get the cleric stance back. However, for said balancing purposes. It would work similarly to BLU basic instinct where it only boosts the damage outside instances & Parties.
Same for tank stance. It can boost the tanks' damage outside instances & parties but once they join one the damage increase will be gone.

No. When clerics stance was a thing, less healers dps’d. Those who tried with clerics often faltered and ended up healing with int spec rather than mind mdd add king for unsustainable pulls. While I did enjoy this depth of gameplay, many couldn’t handle it

Swapped a healers mind and intelligence stats

Cleric stance would increase healers' heals while also decreasing their damage. It was the healing stance for healers. ( You can imagine how this went badly )
Same for tank stance.
Cleric stance got removed while tank stance changed to be what it is today.

It swapped our mind stat for intelligence because at the time our damage spells scaled off of that. Damage in the overworld and when doing unsync is fine for the most part, so I'm not sure how useful such an ability would be if reintroduced for those purposes. If I need to deal damage quicker, I go as DPS instead of tank or healer.

Cleric stance was your DPS boost, as Kolaina said. Not a healing boost.
