I don't have data on "success rate"

I wasn't talking about "data", just a subjective sense of how often groups acquiesce to this idea you've been talking about. Sounds like you're saying there's rarely ever any pushback.

I can do that independant of what the group is doing.

Here's what I'm really curious about. Why group at all if you're going to be completely independent? What's the benefit?

My position is Shaman/Enchanter/Monk, with the fourth member being flexible. Due to the specific restriction of no melee classes, that changes the equation a bit.

I said Enchanter/Enchanter/Cleric/Shaman or Enchanter/Enchanter/Shaman/Necro in my original post on this thread. This is because 2x Enchanters provide the DPS, and the Shaman + Cleric supply enough utility and mitigation to keep the Enchanters going without a hitch.

I guess I'm confused then, because earlier you said this:

I think the issue here is you don't understand enough about the game to realize a 4 man group is not a very good number on P99. Most people prefer trios because you don't really expand the amount of content you can do with 4 people, and loot splits better 3 ways. You generally want 5-6 people for the harder single group content.

If a fourth member doesn't expand what content you can do, 2 chanters are sufficient DPS (I understand and accept your argument that killing Fungi King in 90s vs 72s or whatever is pretty irrelevant), and loot splits better 3 ways, aren't you advocating that the fourth member is pretty irrelevant?

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth or trying to score debate points, just trying to understand your position.
