The death of savage raiding and SE's lack of action

[MisterNublet]

Have to assume, since they're likely not raiding with all the healers in all the statics out there, it's the cumulative experience with and impression gained thus far from the general community of healers that partake in raid via the Party Finder.

Except the statement is wrong.

PF Healers don't have issues with heal checks, they have issues with mitigation checks disguised as heal checks.

Harrowing Hell was foremost a mitigation check. The reason why Tank LB was used on HH was because trying to get both tanks and all four DPS to press their mitigation tools, and god forbid spread them out, between taking bites of their elmer's gluesticks was too much to ask of PF tanks and dps.

When the boss two-taps the tank and annihilates the party because three people were also standing in front of the tanks as well, it wasn't the mitigation-less tanks and dps who manned up to their mistakes... they blamed the healer for not having AoE Benediction on a 0 second GCD.

PF Healers quit because of trash players blaming them, or found a static to end their suffering.

No idea where the idea that PF Healers quit because of an increased DPS requirement. That was pulled right out of their rectum. It's quite the opposite, Healers are quitting because of a lack of interesting DPS rotation.

Edit:

Healers in PF dropped off dramatically in Asphodelos, and Anabaseios, two tiers that both encompassed alot more AoEs + DoTs and successive high damage mechanic overlap, both things the forums consistently asks for to incorporate more Healing opportunity or stress on the Healer role. Every tier that operates like this, more often has low clear rates or the overall perception of the raids is poor. Every single one since at least SHB. If the goal is to increase healer roles in PF, this is clearly not the direction to go.

AoEs + DoTs were mitigation checks, not heal checks. If a pf group (tanks and dps) treated those mechanics like a heal check (not using their mitigations) and had healers adjust, they were the biggest issue with PF.

Proper mitigation and those mechanics were a non-factor.

Lets stop spreading the idea that this game has heal checks when 99% of them are realistically mitigation checks first and foremost.
