    Yeah, that’s generally the idea.

    However, a lot of our healing kit has been stripped from earlier levels. Running older content is becoming more problematic than it should be.

    For example, running Snowcloak (lvl 50) dungeon with a team of level synced (and well geared) characters. The tank was doing large pulls, and my WHM’s healing kit was not fleshed out enough to handle it.

    Why? Because at level 50 we have Cure I, II, III, Medica, Medica II, Regen, Benediction, and that is all. Since they took Largesse away from us, bundled it with Protect and called it Temperance (our level 80 ability), we no longer have anything that boosts our healing power in a pinch.

    So even spamming Cure II (which you should never have to do in casual content), the tank still died, followed by the DPS. Thankfully, I was able to Rez sir Gundblade-a-lot and avoid a wipe.

    But the point is, that shouldn’t have been a problem in the first place. The pull in question wasn’t even his biggest pull of the dungeon.

    Healers have been hamstringed in pre-60 content.

    I think you answered your own problem. We USED to be able to do content that way but times change and we now must change out play style to smaller pulls in those dungeons. Times change you get in or you get out.
