I have some questions

Was this clear in a group of organised players, for example a static? I’d find it hard to believe a random pug could clear without healers.

Also it seems that ex trials have been getting easier and easier since Stormblood with the only exception being the WoL trial - I’ve not done any of the ex trials - are they easy?

The step from Ex to Savage is usually quite big so if you will be able to clear the new savages comfortably without healers then that will be a big worry and possibly an indication that SE may want to remove the role entirely in the future.
