Has anyone else noticed an increase in heal aggro lately?

I've had the same gear for a -long- time so I know it's not my heal amount... but lately I've noticed that my heals will grab aggro over attacks. Eg. Only healing a high 7x barb for BH (well, and purifies), without ever targeting a single skill at boss, I have grabbed heal aggro well into the boss hp. Happened again yesterday with a 8x bm tank-- again, just heal aggro, no attack. Both tanks had a constant dps on the boss, and I'm sure the barb was fleshreaming (albeit it was only lvl 6 ._.)

This started happening a little after patch notes said that sins/psy revenge levels were reduced.

Coincidence? Or something ... else? b:scorn

    I had problems with that! I was in bh Trioc with just me, some sin & my lv 86 Bm friend. I healed him after he roared & aoe'd Trioc and his groupies, and somehow got trioc after me b:shocked Needless to say the squad failed cuz of that, but luckily the sin had a high lv cleric alt & came back and we finished it nicely :)
    But yeah, it has totally happened to me, so you aren't alone in experiencing this!

    Yes, it is ~

    On today's BH 59, Ofotis turned to attack me while I healing the tank (a BM). I was using arcane armours, so he would 2 hit kill me. But glad I'm charmed, and my tank took aggro back very soon. Else, it might be a party wipe -_-

    I've noticed it.. on my cleric I can be healing someone that's already attacked and hurt the mob quite a bit, and get the aggro. Happens on my veno too, her pet will be attacking 2-3 mobs, each with at least 1/4 life gone and I'll get heal aggro from them.. D:

    hmm i havent noticed anything about it no chance a cleric steals my agro unless they go full DD without holding back and spamming ultis(which is only possible if they dont have to heal)
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that

    I haven't noticed problems with stealing aggro with heals either. As long they're hittin' the mobs I haven't been targeted by anyone so far.

    What's been buggin' me is the "respawn healing aggro" I get from time to time after I kill a mob, and he respawn at the same time I cast a heal on myself. Fortunately it seems it doesn't happen too often on the new patch.

    It's not about stealing aggro from a tank, because we attacking/ DD. But it happens when we're just healing the tank ~

    And the bad thing is, at that time I used macro heals and was afk to get something to drink. Then, I saw my charm cooled down and I stop healing because of that... if Ofotis land another damage on me, I might died and there'll be a party wipe -_-

    is not that our aim is too high
    and we miss it
    but that it's too low and
    we reach it.

    The only thing I have noticed is a boss turning for you if a barb hasn't used roar yet. After using roar everything is going as it is supposed to.

    Could it perhaps be an issue where we are healing a tank that's a lower level then us? Since I know debuffing the boss right at the start will also grab you aggro.

    it could really be that they changed the aggro of heals. I notice it in FF runs.
    Im archer and always try to keep the mobs of cleric if he/she aggroes them and i need more hits now then i used to.
    We where at boss whos pawns bishops and toke me 5 hits to get aggro of cleric who used 1 chromatic beam(squad heal), he almost died because of it.

    I've had heal aggro problems on my lvl 30+ cleric while doing quests w/ a barb friend. She was around the same lvl as me, but I could get aggro from just healing once o.o even when she attacked first and had been attacking for awhile. But after the next new patch or two the problem was gone, or I haven't noticed...

    Well, on my cleric the other day i experienced the same problem,i could say maybe 4-5 times already. The first 2 times i took aggro from the barb even after he was using roar and agroo skills and in one ocassion he got stun and i was IH non stop, boss inmediatly came after me. Also sometimes i took aggro from barb before he atks but that is just timing, but what is strange is getting aggro even after barb got stun or he is using roar.

    Getting heal-aggro from a pet is easy unless the pet has used an aggro attack i.e. Flesh Ream, Bash etc. on every mob

    Edit: Forgot to write that it hasn't happened to me
