Why are 95 percent of healers in Eureka inept?

This is, naturally, the very best response to this sort of thing. Pony up there, tankie. Prove how inept we all are. All Eureka is, from beginning to the end, from level 1 to level 20, one huge dying fest. Everyone dies multiple times on each NM. Healers, tanks, and DPS. Being a MT doesn't magically protect you from that. But, hey, prove us all wrong and go be the best lil' hero healer you can be. Bask in the (never expressed) praise of the party that you keep alive 90% of the time while withstanding the shitshow for allowing them to die that one time... when you yourself was dead. It's glorious.

What rekts the groups are the adds that come, no one tanks them, and they target the healers first. It happens. All the time. That's actually my entire experience with Eureka. Even with Panzu and his adds. I've exclusively healed it and I don't go into it anymore because I'm sick of seeing 20 tanks wailing on the boss while adds are destroying me and everyone trying to keep them alive. I decided I had to step away from Eureka after I made a 'PICK UP THE ADDS FFS!' macro shout because I got too tired of dying and/or shouting it.

Truth for sure. I only see an occasional so called "off tank", do anything but hit the boss. On Zuzu, no ranged should ever die from boss mechanics if they are paying attention but instead, they get up close then don't make it out for Dreadwind or the other aoe. I stay at max range on my Bard and don't need any heals, I simply backstep when an aoe is coming. Groups often don't even kill spawns like Void Portals then 10 adds spawn and they wonder why ppl all died. Another good one is tanks pulling the Monoeyes way far from the main group which makes the healer have to run after them while avoiding the spawns and still heal the group. This was NOT a culling issue. If I happen to get in a little trouble I have over 1200 nice little heal over time and several 100 potd potions, get em and USE them DPS! I stopped taking my healer in there period after I got the rez cheevo due to stupid OTs and dps.

It could also be the culling issue. The amount of times I lost a heal target in there due to them just being "out of phase" with me is staggering.
