Until last Thursday, when we started having all this random trouble that we never had before. We also pull the guards away, as mentioned elsewhere. None of that has mattered for the difficulties we have faced lately.
Quote:Also, if you have the chance to be conflagged 10 times the fight is taking way way way too long. I have been consta conflagged before and my record is 5 I believe. Basically each guard takes a max of 20-25 seconds to kill and the general is maybe 45 if you are doing it right.

Our MT went down in about 10 seconds, and went from full to zero health in about 2. After that, do you really expect the "normal" fight guildlines to apply? One guard was down, and we started working on a second. But our tank had to peel off to the general, so I tanked the guard with Evasion. Well guess what, after evasion expired my life quickly dropped to nil (damn me for not using Prep + Evasion before the first one wore out). Thus I went down quickly, and I was a huge chunk of the DPS, being the only Rogue in the raid. This also caused the guard to take out some other DPS people before he went down, and that makes the general fight that much slower.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
