Ah yes, the old "we're a premade group so we're right and you're wrong no matter what" situation. It doesn't happen often, but it can be crippling when it does.

Anyway, this does sound like an exceptional case. I don't think I've ever actually seen the boss succeed in getting the needles attack off. Then again, I tend to go crazy with Stone II when that Guardia shows its face. I have a feeling this won't happen to you again for a while, if ever. Most groups have the sense to listen to reasonable advice in the event of a dungeon boss wipe.
