Trouble surviving HH P4 basic front attacks

Priest here, having trouble surviving 1 smack of Vergos's claw while trying to heal/res tanks, or while running back to prepare for fire walls. 100-0 if I don't backstep every single time Vergos twitches his arm. Is that normal? (I'm not talking about the backward swipe - no one eats that.)

Look at this tiny priest on the left side of the screen @ 06:11. 100% to 40% with a raw smash to the back. What on earth are they wearing to survive that? I'd be a stain on the floor; I tried once with 100% HP + Kaias and still died. Maybe it was an unlucky crit idk.

Again same vid @ 06:23, mystic eats 100% - 50% from a claw (hard to tell when the POV is dead, but mystic is below the res prompt). These hits are without tank block protection. I talked with the mystic that was healing frontside with me that day while we were practicing P4, because they'd be able to survive hits sometimes. Numberwise, they had better defense bonuses than me by a decent amount.

Anybody got some rough endurance/defense minimums to be able to survive a basic attack? Other advice? Should I gitgud and dodge? I know I don't have the best pve gear setup (chest is pvp rolled and missing enrage dmg reduct, no 5-set armor bonus, no 4-set jewelry bonus), but this is what I have to work with for now

Chest: amb+15 (pvprolled not gonna change :p )
Glove: sf+15
Boots: amb+15
Belt: amb
Earrings: shademaze x2 (3 - 2 jewelry setup, so missing some endur bonus)
Endurance vyrks, hardy dyads, a poised dyad

Ty for any input

  • mystic might have been CR'ing it.

    missing enrage roll is a huge thing though, endurance bonuses as well.
  • Mystics naturally have more defense than priests, my friend in full behemoth mystic had something around 36k +33k defense and some random priest in full behemoth only 26k +23k

    You are missing the double enrage roll on chest. You need at least enrage/frontal/flat

    Its the enraged roll. It makes up a ton of defense. You can't consistently run P4 without it. Time to suck it up and not run, or reroll to have enraged on your chest.
    Or, you should ask your group to sit you on legs as one of the leg Priests, and get good at iframing claws. Whoever your raid lead is has questionable choices putting a PvP rolled Priest on head.
  • 10% from enrage roll is a lot. Effectively it reduces like 25% incoming damage from vegos.

    If you stay right behind the tanks, you should be safe from his normal attacks, except his double bites, breath and triple claws.
