Is Cleric Stance now useless?

It lasts 15 seconds has a 2 min recharge and increase attack magic potency by 5%. I'm guessing it no longer flips Mnd and Int?

You don't need to flip them anymore since healer damage scales with Mind now. And it depends on what content you do. There are endgame fights where you cast protect only once and don't need esuna so you may have free slot.

Ah ok thx I'm returning after almost 9 months off the game to let content build so I'm currently chewing thru storm blood story and the occasion pug 50-60 dungeon for exp. Saw the new role actions and Cleric seems just north of useless as a healer didnt have much DPS power and 5% seems negligible (what's 5% of a 500 hit lol)

Yea I only take it when I don't need surecast for a fight.

I don't personally use it on my WHM. It only adds an extra 5% DPS for 15 seconds with a 90 second cool down. I personally bring Protect, Esuna, Lucid Dreaming, Swiftcast, and Largesse.

Many fights in savage, Esuna is a dead skill so free dps is free dps.

Although, some of those fights require Surecast. Or, just make your life easier.
