I don't hate AV as much as I used to since I've run it solo a few times unsynced on SMN and gotten my revenge.

Stone Vigil is the worst one to get if you have any first timer now. Especially a new tank. An experienced group can mow through it, but goodness help you if you have a new tank there.

As for trials, Chrysalis has now replaced Steps of Faith as Worst Trial Duty To Roll Into. Had one the other day where we got the new person notice but no one would fess up to being the new person. So I carefully explained the first two phases of the fight, where you have to run through the balls, and we nearly wiped during the first one and did wipe during the second one because nobody listened to me. Half the group left. I felt bad, but it was late and my melatonin had kicked in and I just was too tired to deal with people not listening.
