They are actually relatively easy to clear without mistakes.
    I specifically said if you are part of the 0.01 that play flawlessly and liberally use your defensives (so both AOE and shared defensives) to try to desperately keep anyone alive in spite of their absolute best efforts to die

    Doing mechanics correctly is relatively easy, having an instance where you do the mechanics correctly but the healers and DPS are so bad both healers can’t stay off the ground and the DPS can’t keep themselves alive even with you using nascent/HOC/TBN/intervention on them constantly is much much rarer

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess

    I still wouldn't call that 0.01%? I've seen people do it semi-frequently. Granted, I've stuck to Paladin for such a long time precisely because it could do that kind of party support, but after several expansions and Paladin basically ended up getting nothing but "haha funny sword combos" and nothing to further it's role as a somewhat support-focused tank - and the genuine easymode that tanks have been feeling, I've swapped to Viper.

    That being said, and it might be because of the strike, but I have seen Healer quality plummet recently. Genuinely the worst I've seen, I've genuinely had to use bloodbath and second wind to keep myself alive multiple times despite doing mechanics correcctly.
