I still think there's one piece of that puzzle missing that will either unlock some kind of secret, or just make the encounter doable with less than 5 people.

That would be really amazing.

Seriously, though, thanks for last night! You handled it incredibly well. As much as I love helping folks out to accomplish things, I'm not sure I could participate in that encounter and watch five others stumble around for hours like you did. You were great!

I want to apologize to you, cheapLEY. I'm pretty sure you suggested we're missing something with the adds, and I started pontificating based on my narrow vision as the add guy (and even misremembered knights!).

Disciple deftly steered us in the direction of discovering the secret without giving away the secret.

It's easy to just start fighting and not be methodical. Ideally, we

• identify the elements--enemies, buffs, debuffs, etc.
  
• experiment to identify their characteristics--when do they start and stop. How do they affect each other.
  
• Formulate a strategy.
  
• Iterate and adjust

Disciple reminded all of us that it's worthwhile just to focus on a few of these at a time.

Another observation I got from watching streams of ourselves and others. Sometimes it's easy to jump in without really noticing or remembering what the stated objective is on the screen.

Thanks for playing with us, Disciple.
