    Let me drop this here because it's relevant (probably language warning, it's WOW players)

    Jdotb (very competent healer main) brings up the point of 'people started doing zero healer runs of M+' and how it's really screwy that it was possible to do that, and everyone tried to go 'yeh but it's not that big a deal right, it's just 2 runs in the top 100' to downplay it and such. And like some of us here, Jdotb says what we say: the problem is more than just 'only a small amount of these kind of runs occurred', more than 'how frequent this kind of gameplay came about and was successful'. The problem is that it happened at all. The fact that, in some of the most challenging content in the game, you can reduce (or in the case of TOP/these M+ keys, completely remove) an entire facet of the 'holy trinity', because offhealing/mit/utility from other classes has been powercrept for whatever reason, whether that be 'increase self-agency of tanks over their own HP' or 'reduce stress on healer' whatever, it hit a tipping point in both games. Blizzard has tried to address their issue by increasing incoming damage and player HP by 25% (not touching healing, effectively cutting healing power by 25%). SE has done nothing so far. I will be interested to see if Blizzard's 'fix' has long term lasting power, because they did the same for DF launch and this fix happened only one patch later, they might have to keep doing the 'fix' over and over every patch to counteract the gear level players get to

    edit: random Jdotb video, damn that's a lot of wrath (glare), starfire (banish), moonfire (dia) and sunfire (...aero 3 but light themed?) casts for a healer huh, gee druid how come blizzard lets you have two DOTs (that's not getting into the fact cat form allows you to use another two DOTs potentially)
