    Because most Boss fights can be broken down as follows:

    1. Avoid AoE
    2. Kill Adds
    3. Kill Boss

    That is the typical priority, though that can shifted around to ignoring AoE, ignoring adds, etc etc. Most added things are minor for the most part, and as others mentioned just comes down to muscle memory.

    With gear you can pretty much skip adds when the boss at 10% and lower HP. I get pretty upset seeing people switch off the boss when you can kill him before the next add wave ><.

    Condition 1: adds have more HP than boss - kill boss
    Condition 2: boss has more HP or HP regen via add: kill adds
    Condition 3: add brings KO mechanic: KILL IT NOW!!

    A mentor stole my house, slapped me across the face, and raised my ping from 15 to 30. Literally unplayable.
