    I am sure not all the situations that you are referring to are that way. Healers need to adjust to various situations and people's play styles as they go along. Same with tanks AND DPS. No run is going to be exactly like another. And remember, not everybody is as skilled as those who can one-run clear a savage raid. I have made mistakes and died because I did not see something on my screen because I was focusing on DPSing and missed some kind of cue. I can clear Suzaku extreme without dying but I still make mistakes on casual content. Sometimes my daughter will come to me and ask me an Algebra question about her homework. I can usually answer her in just a few seconds because I am 4.0 in college with math as a strong point, yet during those few seconds, a mechanic can happen and I die.

    I have done Lost City of Amdapor synced hundreds of time because I like a mechanic with first boss so it is usallly a part of my poetics grind and/or Level 50 dungeon WT. I consider myself an expert on the dungeon because I run it way more than most people. Yet I can still occasionally make a mistake there—especially if 2-3 others are new to it so I have to be extra careful and I don't because most of the time I do not need to.

    I have yet to see anybody intentionally making a healer carry them and not taking it seriously. I know that there are outliers and it is possible. Just because someone is bad does not mean they are not trying. If they go AFK for the whole fight, that is another story.

    It does happen sometimes. You get someone who won't ever dodge even if the world is ending. They just stand in everything. It's not a calculated hit here and there. Or some actually do say that phrase or something along those lines. The onesie twosie you're talking about is much different and it's a lot more obvious when someone is doing it on purpose because they don't give a fig if they're making your job harder.

    Most of the time they'll still get splash healing from me and that's either enough and we make it through or not enough and they die and I raise them. I can count on one hand the amount of times in 7 years I've intentionally withheld all healing and it always someone being an absolute jerk in chat who we ended up kicking. But I definitely will have a "get too far from me and you're on your own" type of attitude for someone with that "healer adjust" mentality.
