I had no idea such groups still existed. I'm sad to say they do. I joined a pug shroud last night that had an LFM for running part 1-3 only. I figured I could use the chance to swing around my newly acquired Epic SoS and possibly gather an extra shard of power so why not. I remember thinking portal DPS was slow and at some point saw that my GH had run out, and then I looked and noticed my resists were down to the last couple minutes. So we managed to complete part 1 (yay!) but no shards for me (boo!) and we jump into part 2. We killed the trash mobs, pulled the names and I remembered it taking several minutes to get them prepped. I pulled the orothon away and shield blocked for like (no joke) 3 minutes.. in the SE corner while the other mobs were prepped. I heard someone say ok take them all down so one swing was all it took to finish off the orothon (he had almost died on my 1d6 sonic guard on my shield.) Ran to help the other mobs and it took around 30 seconds to finally kill all the mobs. I was afraid they would respawn before we completed. Thankfully we had a good caster on the crystal and it went down in a second or two which was all we had since he said we were dangerously close to getting respawns. (Thank you competent caster! bullet dodged!) Time to loot and jump into part 3. Hmm. I completed my puzzle and jumped out to see if anyone needed help. Ok, so maybe I could have asked who didn't need help. I stopped at the first closed door I saw and asked the person if they needed help (SE 5x5) and popped in the solver and was asking if anyoe could open the door since the person inside was now asking for help. (We had 2 rougues and a caster in the party.) The caster pops by and tries to open the door with a knock wand. Umm. Ok. That's a new one. I figured I'd let him have a crack at it and I'll go start to run water. I get to the water door and see that only 1 of the crystals has been broken and 2 are left but before we could get destroy them the wall comes by and poof.. *dead* Someone then asks how come we're not breaking the crystals? Uhh, because if we do we'll lose out on 2 extra chests!?! I was quickly corrected and told I was WRONG. Ok, that's about all I needed to know where this group was headed. Since the group was only listed as 1-3 and I thought finishing part 3 was going to be a chore, and I had no idea if we had already lost out on the two extra chests I opted to recall (since I was already dead) and drop group.
I guess this goes out to guildies and friends for making me forget that wall ever appears, and to more than half the pug groups I've joined for being competent enough to complete the raid.
