Azhelak was always going to take those two apart in the woods, especially after his staff progged its special sauce. The way to bring a foe with superior melee down is to maledict him or nuke him, not to lag him. There are two reasons you would neuro in this case (and then, only if you had a good chance to land it):

1) Your opponent is outmatched and you need a form of lag to keep him around.
2) Your opponent is going to tear you apart with spells and spec skills but not melee.

At the end of the day, pretty much everything in Junrae's arsenal was superior to neuro for this particular fight.
