P4S cleared without healers

Eh, I dunno. I don't find it difficult to design at all, in particular because other MMOs did this >20 years ago casually, without much thought.

Other MMO are also designed with healer being Healbots and encounter having tons of mechanics going out all at once.

3. One stinger deals ~50k-70k in damage. 4. The other deals ~40k in damage.

In Honey B that enought to randomly kill people during her hearth phase and when she drop honey. She love to AA a lot during those and you would EASILY end up killing DPS while they did nothing wrong. You know during her hearth phase there a Meteor part right. Healer would need to premtively time their healing so they can heal in between the small frames where the meteor damage them and they could receive a stinger. You would then need to full heal said person cause there like 6 other meteor going down and you can't afford to not heal 5 of those, and even too you just healed the first dude, there a non 0 chance he just get targetted by 2 stingers while you deal with other meteor.

That's the thing, these raidwide effects would no longer hit for 80%+, but for 40%-50%. The idea is to make the infrequent raidwide attacks weaker, but instead add constant low~medium damage pressure onto non-tanks. Forcing in turn a constant healing output stream, which is more than even very heal-heavy DPS or Tanks can provide with their limited toolset.

That's how, well, everyone else gets it done. :P

Except with the exemple I just given and the number you gave me, those effect don't deal 80% of someone hp. In normal Honey B meteor deal like 35k ish damage. Phys dps have around 150k hp with BIS and magical/healer got 120k hp. You're asking for random occurence of 70k damage, that hit more than the actual mechanic, and that even whitout considering minim Ilevel or vulne stacks.
