Healing pre-bees is not optional; the team will be taking unavoidable damage from Demon Wall's random single-target attacks.
Perhaps the writer meant "if you have to lose Cleric Stance at all" -- which I'd be more inclined to agree with.
He's right if YOU need to heal pre bees theres a problem
Eos or Selene can solo heal while you nuke
Since I DF AK most of the time, I go lazy mode during the wall (there is always one guy...). Stoneskin, Succor, Plop Eos in the center right in front of the wall. Dodge middle, dodge sides, another Succor. Dodge middle, dodge sides, another Succor. Repel, dodge middle, dodge sides, Succor. Leeches everyone who can't dodge, Sacred Soil after repel during bees. This will win every time if you kill bees, 80% of the time if you don't.
If you want to do it right and have an actually decent group, placing either fairy and stance dancing is the way to do it, as mentioned before.

Whippet is correct, you all are making one of the easiest bosses in the game entirely too complex.
1) Don't bother placing your fairy, there's no reason to.
2) Cast a succor before the fight starts.
3) Enter cleric stance.
4) DoT damage rotations with Ruin II / Energy Drain off-GCD cycles.
5) Rely on your team to dodge the things that can be dodged.
6) Melee LB (or magic LB) whenever the bar is full.
If:
A) Your team doesn't look like it will beat the Wall by the bee spawn (or isn't close)
1) Exit Cleric Stance.
2) Drop a Sacred Soil in the middle.
3) Swiftcast a Succor.
4) Adlo your tank.
5) Physicks
B) Your team will beat it prior to bee spawn.
1) Congrats, you are a boss you just owned the Demon Wall.
You should absolutely place your fairy for several reasons.
1. When you move, your fairy doesn't cure, thus reducing curing output (unless you manual embrace, then see #2).
2. When you move, your fairy follows BEHIND you, not with you. If you are too slow in moving from the side to the middle, fairy is stopping to cure, or you just don't move far enough into the center, your fairy just got hit with slow.
3. Placing Eos in the center only gets hit with negligible damage (sustain at worst, but nothing a Succor won't fix) and weight, but she's placed so not moving.
4. If off to the sides too much when repelled, fairies do not float off the side of the map. She will fall in this instance unlike The Navel and no longer able to cure your party. Good job.

Well done sir. You've correctly nailed every irrelevant detail as it pertains to a healer vs. Demon Wall.You should absolutely place your fairy for several reasons.
1. When you move, your fairy doesn't cure, thus reducing curing output (unless you manual embrace, then see #2).
2. When you move, your fairy follows BEHIND you, not with you. If you are too slow in moving from the side to the middle, fairy is stopping to cure, or you just don't move far enough into the center, your fairy just got hit with slow.

Even if you gear blows and you are forced to face the bees, just manually cast Embrace (it's loads better that way in any raid situation). Your fairy isn't going to fall off unless you fall behind the dodge rotations, and you'll probably die or get hit by the goo if you keep that up.
