Today, in hHoR, a healer accused me of having too little health.
~35K unbuffed. 40K+ with buffs. Enough to MT everything up to ToC so far, to say nothing of hHoR on multiple other occasions.
I think the larger reason I died would be that – looking at Recount – I wasn’t actually getting heals. All my death graphs were such nice, gentle slopes, lasting for many seconds between spikes upward, assuming any were shown.
Perhaps she had the wrong gnome targeted. There were two or three of us in the party. It can’t have been her. She’s run it like a million times on all her other 80s, as she hastily assured us when I asked if anyone wanted/needed the strats explained. That would explain why she felt it prudent to wipe us all on the first trash group by standing opposite the party and dying in two hits. “To avoid the fire,” she says. Still can’t figure out why she wouldn’t heal me when she was up, though.
But, no, she’s probably right. Gotta be my health.

Only 35K unbuffed?! Call yourself a tank! Bah, you’re just a wet paper.
I demand at least 50k unbuffed for my tank, otherwise I, y’know, actually have to *gasp* heal them.
This kind of hp inflation *really* annoys me – I remember *grumble grumble* when you thought your ship had come in if your tank had 22k health…
It’s getting ridiculous. It’s almost at the stage that people won’t let you heal heroics unless you’re ToC-25 geared.

LoL…it’s funny you should say that. A while back we had a GUILDIE, of all people, tell us that we wouldn’t be able to run Ulduar effectively until we were wearing our T9. But didn’t want to run ToC because we were too low geared.
So…in order to run the raid that DROPS T8, we have to be wearing gear from the next raid in the “progression order” (this was before the triumph badge change). But in order to run the raid to get the T9, we have to be at least wearing T8…which comes from the raid we apparently needed T9 to do…
It was a lovely logic loop and we never quite worked our way out of it.
