And, as you came to realize, it really was the people in the group rather than the choice of classes in the group that was the problem. That's what a lot of people need to learn. Despite how people howl and whine for class balance, things really are pretty fairly balanced. There does need some tweaking here and there, but definitely nothing so drastic or sweeping as what people try to claim. A good player will make a "gimped" class seemed overpowered. A bad player will make an "overpowered" class seem gimped. We frequently make fake cries of "Nerf <insert class here>" whenever someone in the guilds on Stormrage or Terenas mention some nasty situation they got into and then came back out of because they played well (and sometimes had a bit of luck to go with it ;) ). Good players will shine and make so-called impossible situations work. Now, the truly impossible situations, you'll fail even if you are a good player, but that's why they are actually impossible rather than just so-called impossible. ;) Don't ask me to differentiate between the two more than that until after my body has hit the floor more than 5 times in 10 minutes. ;)

So. . .while that party could have easily finished it, only one of us really had any idea what we were doing and adequately performed group roles.
