The price of poor planning or A really fun time in SP...

1 - rogue
1 - cleric
1 - ranger
1 - evil sorceress (me)
1 - barbarian (GWF)
Standard SP run during DD. Ranger, cleric, and barbarian are all new to SP. Never been there, never seen it. I said ok. Before the boss fights, I brief them on what to expect. Things go fine and we're actually making good time considering it's a PUG with 60% new peeps.
We reach the end fight. I start to do the brief, but the cleric cuts me short and says he has to go to bed soon so can we just go? I manage to tell the ranger and the barbarian to ignore the adds and just attack the boss, but to watch out for red cones coming from behind in case I miss any adds. Fight starts up. I manage to nab the agro from the adds and do my "thing". I peripherally notice someone run by me every once in awhile as I'm busy concentrating on spotting the red cones. I actually thought it was the cleric just running by me every once in awhile. A little while later, I glance at the boss's health bar and notice it hasn't moved much at all.
I then start to pay more attention to what's going on around me and guess what I see? I see the ranger running around like a chicken without his head on, with those berserk adds (yes the ones that don't do anything to you) following him around. I also see the barbarian running around hitting said adds. I'm confused, but remind them to hit the boss instead of the adds. Come to find out as well that the rogue had recently respecced to a more PvP friendly build so his PvE boss DPS actually stunk. The pace speeds up after that and we manage to finish even though the ranger dies from falling off the platform and the barbarian dies from getting knocked off from the platform. So instead of the end fight being faster like how the cleric wanted, it actually took waaaay longer just because the cleric wouldn't let me warn the ranger and the barbarian what was coming. :eek:
I had to kind of piece together what had happened and, at the time, I wanted to start pulling my hair out, but, now that I'm looking back at it, it's actually funny as heck!
The ranger was like... "Ahhhh! These adds are following me around!!!! Save meeeeeeee!!!!!"
While the barbarian was like... "Ugh! Boss too tough! Me smash little adds!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"
While the rogue was like... "Ah HAH! I'm stealthed so you can't see me! Take THAT! And THAT! And THAT!" /chucking daggers at the boss

Cuz that's how final boss fights should be, and stuff like this don't happen that often.

1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
2). Yes. I am panzer!
3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"
WTB Class Reroll please
Considering that my first time in SP as a rogue, I ended up going swimming and the party guardian fighter very slowly poked the boss to death, even a PvP spec TR would be able to do it eventually.

Boss dead, first try.
How long had they been at it? Well, a DD chest was popped and the previous DD had ended over 3 hours before that.
Sometimes, it's just faster to listen or do things the way the developer intended...
Haha , that reminds me of the first time I did epic PK on my CW , the leader insisted that me the other CW and the DC stand on the fence and kill the boss , back then we were all very low GS and not very experienced and the plan failed numerous times , tried it once the proper way and we killed him , that taught me a very valuable lesson lol.
