But when people talk a lot about how WHM is easy mode, or how healers get bored in leveling dungeons, it can create an impression that if you struggle you must have chosen the wrong job. Even if I forever stay a crappy healer for any content after HW, hopefully the advice and kind words will echo on to other people.
Yeah, I get that. People also say that the two primals in 4.0 were super easy, but Susano Ex kept kicking me in the face for weeks until I figured it out. "Easy" is a relative term, although it doesn't always sound like that on the forums.

I think the tank died like 3-4 times (party wipes) and I died two additional times.
Ouch. Yeah, that's rough. But that's a good reason to run with some folks here, simply because it's easier for us to see what's going wrong if we're there in person.
