    *Thinking.* Nothing stands out in my mind as being so threatening that stuns were needed. I've raised a DPS and healer both to 70 and have done, mostly, larger pulls and still DPS'd on healer. I can't recall a regular mob, big or small, needing a stun. Only when it died slowly, and that was Sirensong. Hence my point. Bees with final sting are priority targets because they do damage relative to their HP- the best mitigation is actually DPS in their case lol. It's not the same as Kugane with the avengers or the magiteck armors or large wheel machine thing (never paid attention to it's name). They do AoEs and hit slightly harder, but nothing to write home about. Not like the Iron Giant in Doma, who does AoEs frequently enough that pulling anything else with it is a waste of time due to dodging that frequently. Hence, yes, they hit hard, but it's still more efficient to AoE DPS where applicable. The only time I'd forego AoE DPS to kill a "miniboss" is when I'd notice a healer struggling, but that boils down to group awareness and being able to judge a situation. Bardam's Mettle was a little bit "yeah, okay, I feel the difference. I feel every hit that tank is taking in heals." Still did larger pulls. Still DPS'd- I just made sure to watch the party's HP a little more closely than normal and used more defensive cooldowns. I also don't consider myself anything more than an average healer, just an aware one.

    For that reason: they were removed. Not worth mentioning something that new players won't encounter and only those playing then would remember.
