I think I almost wiped Copperbell run on the first boss that way. Our guide (ACN), said to go in and just kill stuff. Â When I saw DPS and healer with Spriggans on them I had a 'AW S****' moment and started blasting Overpower. Â The damage I took ended up being too much for healer to recover me from. Â I KO'd, you know the rest.I had the exact same problem at that fight, but being a gladiator I slapped on rampart, fleet of foot, and keen flurry (yay cross-classing!) while spamming blind-flash, and thankfully my DPS ground them down before they could chew me up too bad. My only KO was from finding out that the non-boss blasting caps insta-kill you when they explode. Oops.
Fortunately, the guide didn't give up on me and we got through the other fights really well. Â If a hissy fit had ensued, I'd probably walk though. Â I dealt with enough of those in Rift when my ex-guild moaned about my DPS meter as a bard. Â :\
TL;DR: I know I'm a sucky newb, but don't forget when you needed guidance either
