Did Harry focus the Tank?
peregrine:
My problem with the theory that DR was the tank Rashid focused is that if that was the case, DR wouldn't have an issue with "focusing the tank" so much as "being there." Focusing the tank if DR is the tank is only good for DR, that's what it's there to do. You only get pissed at someone for focusing the tank when you're on the same side and they're screwing it up.

I disagree: You get pissed at whomever is punching you in the Face. I suspect that Rashid was the one chosen to do the actual Offensive actions, as the distraction, while the rest were doing whatever else they might do that required breaking INTO a prison.
Granted, Im trying to give Rashid the benefit of the doubt that "focusing the tank" was actually the plan for some reason, rather than an example of him screwing up the real plan.
prince lotore:
i always interpreted that a little differently. I saw it as Rashid used dr as a tank letting some damage dealer pound on the island while he did what he had to do. I see DR as smart enough to understand Rashid set him up to take a beating but not understand you picked the wrong enemy in the fight and we lost
raidem:
Demonreach and Rashid were on the same side. Rashid screwed up the plan because he was a newb and tried to take down a tank before taking down more fragile opponents.
Demonreach holds a grudge with Rashid because he was ineffective and likely something of value for demonreach was lost.
Groinkick and peregrine have it right. Raid leaders do get mad if you don't attack priority targets. Demonreach is mad. I feel Rashid has been on a number of those raids with demonreach and it usually doesn't end well, but I don't think anyone else would do better. Rashid is the best least bad option.
forumghost:
I think you need to look at what matters to Demonreach. Namely, the Island and the Well. Everything else is unimportant to it besides it's purpose. So most likely either:
A) Rashid fucked up while defending the Island, attacked the wrong enemy, and something broke out because of it.
B) Rashid chose to focus on another threat, something unrelated to Demonreach, over his duties to the Island- say by leaving his position as Warden of the Well in order to become Gatekeeper.
I like B personally.
