Having Stoneskin + Adlo on the tank before he pulls, Cleric Stance Swiftcast Shadowflare, Bio II-Miasma-Bio one add, Bane, Miasma II if you have the time, drop out of stance and heal. If your tank is geared, you shouldn't even need lustrates. At lower levels, Eos and Selene can solo heal all the dungeons before Brayflox (save for Qarn NM and to a lesser degree, Cutter's Cry), so there is no excuse to not be a full-time Cleric Stance Scholar in those dungeons. Whenever I see a low level SCH just standing around in a dungeon with their thumbs up their ass... my creys.(12-30-2014, 03:54 PM)Edda Wrote: I will say it loud and I will say it proud - If you do not contribute any DPS in any way, shape, or form as a healer, you are playing your class incorrectly.
I find it's even easier to get SOME DPS up as SCH than it is for WHM. Mostly because a one-two punch of Adlo and Stoneskin means you can at the very least drop a Swiftcast Shadow Flare and a Miasma II before the enemies eat through it and your tank actually starts to take damage.
Heck, with Aetherflow stacks, you can save a couple for a Lustrate or two before dropping out of Cleric Stance to do some normal healing. Plus, you have your Fairy throwing around Embraces like it ain't no thang.
