Dawntrail's mediatour dungeon was already cleared without healers.

so they made harder healing checks in that fight, so for p8s they tuned the healing up. That tier became pretty well known for it being hard to find healers in PF, because so many got exasperated with the difficulty and just left instead.

After completing P4 I actually stopped playing and healing because I was getting tired of the broil spam. I tried again as a DPS back in P9 but our WHM hurt her hand and we had to stop progging after completing P11.

I wonder how many played through the first tier and stopped playing, contributing to the lack of healers for the next one.
