First of all, I'm guessing you were in the Underdark and the conjurers seeing this jumped on the opportunity to raid. Kudos to the masters for taking the fight to the ragers even with the odds stacked against them. So you approach the village knowing that the Destructor is in bad shape. You need a game plan. I'm an advocate of taking down the strongest first when you're being raided because then the others involved in the raid lose the courage they had. If your firepower isn't quite up to it then go for the weakest link and work your way up. In this instance, I would have made sure the ranger and warrior were dealing damage directly onto either one of these conjurers preferably Narlock. The warrior I believe is a whip/flail spec; I would have had him entwine the conjurer while the ranger shieldcleaves him. Then for yourself I would have made sure I was directed at one of the conjurers and then made sure each and every elemental, archon, and conjurer had their senses blurred and then start critical hitting. Just try to keep track of how many senses become blurred rather then who; maybe even have a variable that increments each time you see that line. After the archons senses are blurred then I'd wear a shield and let your ranger and warrior do their thing. The mistake you made was in the importance of taking the archons out of the equation as you fled and came back to fiend. If you would have stayed by the Destructor after singing 'when you don't see me' and just kept singing life to the dying, I think you would have been more successful. If you're low on mana, try to sleep and catch ticks at opportune times ie estimate when you think the next tick may come so you can sleep hit the tick and be off running. So next time on that long trek back to the village from wherever you were make sure you discuss your battle strategy because after all only one person is leading the rest can discuss what needs to be done. I probably made absolutely no sense, but basically learn to work as a tightly knit unit. It's easy to play the lone rager, but working cohesively in ragers takes someone stepping up and laying down the battle plan. Hope that helped and I hope you know how lucky you are with the Destructor dying of poison which to me is something that really doesn't seem right especially if the people who caused the bleeding are the ones still fighting. Same thing goes with outer guardians.
