[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 9049088, member: 891"] Tactics. I've been repeatedly stuck on a caster in close quarters combats with GMs that would use organized tactics while our martials would split apart or full stride away from the group. Sometimes they'd do it on entering a room and the encounter would happen after they ran a full 2 strides past hidden enemies. Other times they would pick a target way back there and go for it. Sometimes that's been a single boss, other times I've seen them run past bosses to go play in piles of henchmen (blocking caster ability to drop AoEs on those henchmen). I'm "going nuts back here" because I do have a long past as an MMO tank, raid lead, or otherwise on a raid leadership council were we would debate fight strats and organize coordinated tactics - even in new 'drop day dungeons' where the content was unknown. So I sit in these groups and try to tell people to not run off, or to protect the backline, or to give me space to drop an AoE... and then on my turn I drop electric arc again because every other option is locked out from current positioning unless the threats that were ignored have rushed to back where I am, in which case I'm busy rolling death saves because the boss has one shot all of us in the back while the front went strolling around the henchmen. again.
