For me:
Place: Abbadon's Mouth mission
Type: intended to be skill capping off the bosses
Team: Those that stayed were amazing
Numbers at the end: 5/8
Description:
Odd group balance because the goal was skill capping and just for the record we are talking way before there was any all powerful PVE skills. 4 Warriors (actually all set as W/R with 2 cap sigs and res sig so no hard res skills), R/Mo, E/something and the standard heal and prot monks.
We get to first boss pair and find good ole Willa the healing tank is doing his thing. Ele rushes in like a lemming and get splattered by the Mursaat tower and some jades - hmm - not infused). Ele yells and monks for not healing, monks yell at warriors for not taking interrupts to kill Willa and end result is no caster love as they all rage quit leaving 4 warriors with the ranger.
Common sense says go back and restart but a quick show of hands decided amongst ourselves to see if we could take Willa down. Progress was very slow but in the end the poor bugger must have run out of energy to spam orison of healing. Bouyed with the success we decided to press on for our captures and perhaps even the mission. We spent the next 3 hours rushing in, ganking one target, running away and hoping that the ranger would stay alive to res up where we dropped. I remember going to 60 DP and back to 20 and back to 60% again. At one point we had 4 dead tanks and one badly hurting and running ranger.
Suffice to say we all captured our 2 elites, beat the mission and did the happy happy joy joy dance whilst chanting "Monks - what are they good for - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING"
