> That wouldn't work. Conjurers got changed so their mobs no longer get stuck on inner cabal guardians. Elementals, angels, and demons leave and return to the conjurer if he flees. Archons and devils also do obviously, since they're not in combat.
I did not know that, about elementals. That seems to make conjurers more powerful than ever, as one consistent tactic that worked during a raid was to let the elemental work on the giant or destructor while you dealt with the conjurer. Hmm.

Can't really help that.
> I thought about it a bit and I decided the right tactic would have been to dash/pull the ELEMENTAL inside the cabal while Osdaron was fighting the GIANT. A water elemental I can easily solo, especially with bard help, and he wouldn't have been able to get to it. Without the water elemental, it'd have taken him forever and a day to kill the giant, and I'd have a much easier time of things.
Sounds like you had absolutely no need for any of us to post with strategy tips. I wouldn't have even thought of this one.
