Does anybody else notice a PUG issue with Savage lately?

The main point of contention for me would be you somehow getting out of range.

Because I'm a healer main and have never had someone out of range for o6s demonic stone, you don't have to keep going far away, you just need to not hit other players, so you can walk in a curve (around the group) and not get out of range. Of course that's assuming the non-stone players aren't spread out in such a manner that this wouldn't be possible.

The other anecdotes aren't being mentioned because there's nothing to disagree on regarding them: you're right, those healers were not anticipating the next mechs properly in those other anecdotes. These fights require healers to know what's coming up, rather than react after an attack.

Personally most of the wipes I've seen though are from dps not doing mechs right giving either a direct wipe (failing to kill their o7 airplane add in time, not moving out of dada beam range even though the person who was marked is in the correct spot, getting hit by missiles, etc..), or an indirect one from healers running out of mp from having to rez too much.
