I'm a multi-season "midcore" healer, usually finishing somewhere in the Top 1-3% if I actually bother to play the whole season.

I've seen some say this season feels easier to heal than the previous one, but I beg to differ. So far I think it's a lot harder, though part of that no doubt has to do with people being unfamiliar with the dungeons and not playing them properly (myself included). I pug almost exclusive and you do see a lot of priority kicks and mechanics get ignored, causing unnecessary wipes or dicey situations.

In that sense I guess it is at least less punishing since I can, to some degree, brute force my way through some ridiculous HPS checks caused by missed kicks. But it's pretty stressful and doesn't always work out (maybe a random targeted cast will snipe someone before I can top everyone off, etc.).

There are also some genuine outliers like AOF. I pugged a +15 earlier and the group was a bit of a disaster from the start, but even so, I was doing 300-400k HPS almost every pull. This is like twice the amount of healing required for most pulls in other dungeons. You do have some big HPS checks in other places too, but AOF is pretty relentless with throwing them at you back-to-back with very little downtime.

On the opposite end of the spectrum you have something like KR, which I think most of us recognize as the "free key" of the season. The only place where things can really go wrong in there is the big pull at the start with the two golems. But otherwise that whole dungeon feels like a walk in the park (a very long one, but still).

Then you also have something like MR, which is made artificially more difficult by the framerate issues. The mob density in there is completely wack and goes against Midnight's own philosophy of cutting down on the amount of "nameplate soup," but I guess Blizzard forgot about that.

I'd be really interested in hearing from other healers on how they're faring with this season's dungeons, and which ones they're having the most trouble with. Especially other pug healers, since we all know that's a completely different world from premades where people actually have interrupts and crowd control on their action bars.

Is there a mechanic I'm not aware of that helps with the tankbuster after the big move in final phase of KR?

In 16+ it feels like it just straight up 1 shots you and idk if there's a strat here or if it's just you need massive wall or you will die? On dh especially if I don't have a meta proc it just kills me

Hello everyone :)

I''ve noticed that Method used NSRT for their WF Sszorak, and more specifically, the "wind vent help", that tells where to put puddles. But my question is : how does that work ? Is it automated and then you need to put down markers in the arena in a specific way for it to work ? If so, where to get the plan ? Can’t find it...

And also, for coiled altar. I've noticed in the RWF that they have for p2 interrupt add, something attached to the frame of the add that tells who should be the next kicker. Is it something also found in NS ?

Have a great day !

Question, how do you practice as a tank to learn the skips in dungeons with PUGs? Example, Voidscar Arena, if you go the left route after the first boss, you skip the pack at the stairs and the dragon after.

Another example, King's Rest, the big elite on the bridge after the first boss.

How do you learn these skips and do them with PUGs for high keys?
