    Pardon me for stepping in here, but wouldn't that have taken even longer than simply explaining the mechanics and then finishing the boss in one go?
    Having to fight, wipe, come back, explain something so it doesn't happen again, then fight a second (or third if they still didn't get it down right) time tends to take a lot longer than typing, even if the typing is slow.

    And to me, as someone who's only been playing for a few weeks mechanics aren't a non-issue. Even if a team decides to burn through a boss and ignore them it's still good to know what they are in case something goes wrong, you can avoid a secondary effect, or just know for future's sake.

    Preferably the new person should check up on fights before entering a dungeon but you shouldn't be throwing people under the bus just because they haven't.
