Did a dungeon. Spent four hours on it. At the last boss, I get killed
shortly before the boss goes down.

I rez and rush back in case needed for the battle.

The boss drops.

The team members say "DON'T LOOT". WAIT.

One of the guys responds "K". ... then loots before I get back.

Thus I am not able to loot the final quest item and have to do the
entire F#$#@$ING thing over again to complete the quest.

The folks at Blizzard ought to fix that kind of thing.

Well, that guy was a jerk, but you shouldn't release and run back either.
There's no way you will be there in time to aid your comrades again when you
die in a boss battle. It's almost certainly long over by the time you get
back there.

So don't release in a situation like that. Sometimes makes it even harder
for the healer to res you, because you aren't on the minimap anymore and
they have to find your corpse by eye.

If you don't release you get loot rights and credit even if you are dead
when the boss dies. Wasn't always so, in the first versions of WoW when you
were dead when the boss fell you didn't get credit no matter what.

Shadow labs you can

It's actually advised to release and run back to boss to help fight on most
websites

R> Shadow labs you can

Did you try it ? The party dps must be awful or all 3 dpsers died to manage
to do that...

I think it was "Ronny" <ryan@spam.ronny.ws> that wrote something

Can be a bad idea on the 2nd boss if you haven't completely cleared
the instance up to him. If fun time comes while you're near uncleared
mobs you'll attack them.

One of the most fun boss fights I have ever been in was against the
Inciter guy in SL... He must have MC'ed us about 8 times (usually he's
dead before the 4th one). I was bear tanking, and I was the only
person who didn't die at least once. Some of the DPS'ers were able to
die twice and still be back for the final takedown.

Not something I'd want to have to do every time, but it was really
funny.
