Healing Threat (mostly WHM)

I wasn't really referring to the Titan encounter in particular, just trying to say that after that point and into Coil healing threat is VERY noticeable. My guild is to the point where we need to tailor our strats to accommodate for the fact that WHM can and WILL pull threat off of tanks just doing basic AoE healing on the raid. The purpose of this thread was to see if people are okay with that or not.

Oh

Then no, I personally wouldn't consider it an issue.

Adding a layer of difficulty to the game by forcing high-potency healing to be carefully used, and strategies designed accordingly, seems like a reasonable way to add challenge. Mana conservation hasn't really been an issue even with spam healing since 50 especially if a Bard is involved.

Although it's interesting that Scholars seem to receive a disproportionally lower amount of aggro all-around, I'm assuming shielding generates less threat than healing.

Overall more than happy with where WHMs stand - certainly wouldn't object to Scholar's threat gen being brought in-line with ours though.
