This is because, for the DPS dummies at least, SE doesn’t factor healer DPS into boss clearing but the community does.
- The community actually expects less from the DPS than SE does, with the community expecting healers and tanks to cover the gap.
I think SE does factor tank DPS in, but before ShB factored it in without accounting for stance dancing... So while they now gave in to community expectations for tanks, sort of, they have hardened down on healers with a stronger intent towards “pure healing” leading their DPS dummies to be more demanding as they’re expecting 2 of the 8 people to be doing 0 DPS...
