    For whatever reason, the devs made a very strong stance on healer dps and nerfed it to the floor by starving you of accuracy.

    IMO, its all part of their plan to lengthen the time it takes to clear progression content. And it appears to have worked, as I think AS4 has only been cleared 3 times now? Whereas T13 was cleared on like the second or third day I think.

    It's annoying yes, it takes longer due to needing to spend weeks sometimes to gear up as a dps to meet the check when a healer is missing most of their attacks.

    Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Time walls are the go to for all MMOs to ensure stable populations between updates.

    It's not a nerf, 2.0 gear didn't had accuracy either. In a nutshell they always kept healer BiS gear 100-150 accuracy away from the instance caster cap. Also the "healer dps isn't accounted for" was for ARR raids, not for heavensward raids.

    i115 was more than enough for t13, you only needed a melded vit gear to meet the HP check and overall you were good as long you did every mechanic right. DPS check was there but it wasn't as virgin tight as stuff like faust at the minimum ilv on release.

    When it comes to time from release to clear, nothing beats T5 with world 1st taking more than 2 months for clear.

    This. I used to have to paper-tank one of the Golems in T9, and we would sometimes wipe because I'd miss between two and four attacks in a row, so I couldn't grab any aggro.

    More to the point... it doesn't stop raid leaders from pressuring healers to do DPS you'll only realistically achieve if RNGsus loves you. (But I know SE can't do much about that. Sigh.)

    Had acc melds in SCOB and FCOB acc 493 + Steamed Catfish but atm the accessories available arent worth it and I cannot afford either :/ Default accuracy bugs me a lot... I mean I even miss in dungeons ;_;

    No, first week but not day 1.

    WHM burst dps on split-hand is true, but I let our SCH dps. I go for convalescence on tanks and throw my divine sealed Cure 3 on them during split hand. These are some serious heals per GCD

    T10 to T13 was cleared fast because the strategy was leaked the day when they released the content, apparently.
