I admit that I haven't read all of these posts, but I figured that this thread might be a good place to post this. While playing yesterday, my sister sends me a /tell asking me to help her with a mission. She's a level 20 Fire/Fire Blaster. Her mission was Warrior based and involved stopping a ringleader named Hercules. She worked her way through the entire mission solo, but found that Hercules was impossible for her to take on by herself. We grouped, I was exemplared (I'm a level 34 Inv/SS Tanker) and then faced the boss. I target him and he turns out to be an Elite Boss...
To my knowledge, she hasn't increased the difficulty on her missions, and the mission was just a regular mission. Why then, was she up against an Elite Boss? Shouldn't she have been fighting a named Lieutenant? Even a regular Boss would've been fine. We had trouble taking the guy down with just the two of us, and ended up with bad results. She died once in the mission and then again on the way back. What went wrong here?
