Healers of GAF, what is your opinion on using Cleric Stance in groups?
And what is the ettiquite on asking tanks (or even DPS) to grab hate from myself?
I'm happy to heal all, but I can't do it from the grave...
As a level 32 White Mage, I never use Cleric Stance in parties. I almost never cast attack spells either, because usually I need that GCD to get off a heal or a dispel, though sometimes I get those well equipped tanks that sustain damage quite nicely and are able to hold on all the hate, so I can take the time to cast an Aero or a Thunder here and there, and even some Stone 2.
Mostly though I found more problems than anything else doing something other than healing, so I try to keep it at that when in a group.
You shouldn't need to ask the tank or someone else to grab the hate off you, the tank should do it as soon as the mob starts running for the healer (or anyone else, for that matter), but if he doesn't and no one tries to grab it off you, simply ask him to take it off you. Also as a stupid suggestion, I'd advice to run toward the group and not away from the group in those cases.
