    You’ve mentioned not playing anything beyond savage so I’m gonna take your words for that. With that being said, if the party is blaming a healer in a bloody Extreme trials for failing their forgiving DPS check, there’s a lot of bads to unpack from the dpses more than their healers, assuming mechanics are properly resolved & nobody’s afk for half of the fight.

    Healers are more likely to get blamed for deaths even if it’s a party mit issue in PFs (take my words as a grain of salt, I stopped PFing since early 6.1)… which suffice to say, that’s no longer solely healer’s fault.

    Also excuse me; ‘attacked & harassed’?

    Most would just leave or disband the PF. Harassing is against ToS and majority of player knows at least this. So I am sorry to say that I find your claim ‘often get attacked and harassed’ is hard to believe, as that’s basically a free ticket to GM gaol to the offenders.

    From my experience, most extreme runs that wipe to enrage is usually because of too many deaths, never has anyone blamed a healer for not doing enough damage. I've been pugging since mid-HW and most of the content I do is through pugging.

    Healers do get blamed for failing mitigation checks, even if a melee didn't use Feint. I have also been blamed back in O8S for the party dying to a raidwide from full HP despite being a WHM. I've also been blamed in P8S despite already using all of my available mitigation, some people died to Stomp Dead because neither of the melee used Feint. I can say that in all my years of pugging, I've never once seen a healer get called out for not doing enough damage. The most common thing people say when enrage happens is "All right, use food and pots, is everyone aligning buffs?", and if we keep seeing enrage, people usually just say "This party doesn't have enough damage". People simply don't blame healers for not doing enough damage.
