Hello there.

This tier I decided to go healer, focusing on Scholar although I switch to Sage in M6S because I find the mobility more comfy.

So far I thought that my main job was, as the role says, to mitigate damage. Sure, in prog I screw up some big cds because I didn't know a big one was coming but I fix that for the next pulls and come up with a plan on how to use my abilities in a way nobody dies to "calculated" damage.

That said, I expect the other healer to top everybody's hp (or throw some regens to do that) after I do my job. Of course, I also use Indomabilty and other healing sources I got that are not pure mitigation. So far, I had no problems.

However, earlier today I was going for a M8S Phase 1 kill and we died to... the first multi hit stack, and I was doing the same I've been doing the past weekend. The other healer said the same. Welp, we go again and I adjust Seraphism (is the one I use there, along with sacred soil and Fey Illumination so it mitigates the full stack. Move forward in time and then we die to the big aoe that comes after adds.

So that made me think maybe my "plan" was not the best, even if I was doing the same as the previous pulls where I had no problems. However, the damage was done and the mood in the party was already a bit meh from dying to damage (understandable).

Now, since healing in savage is new for me and after writing all that nobody probably cares about lol, I'd like to hear what more experienced healers can tell me about this. Should I stick to my plan? Should I adjust so the healer (in this case WHM) can just use bell and a single healing spell?

tl;dr We wiped in a p1 kill party after 2 days of m8s prog to the multihit aoe and the one after adds and I'd like to know if I should expect more healing from my cohealer or if they expect me to mitigate that better

Cheers
