When all the monsters are cursed, I’ll change cursing to Dehydrate, which adds to fire damage. Now the mobs’ attention turns to my CM, and to stabilize things, I’ll throw in Provoke. When I’m satisfied that the mob is big enough and settling in nicely around me, I’ll switch my cursing to my CM. Rounding up a huge mob, can take me about 2 hours easily. Not a damaging curse, because I want them all alive but the curse will keep them following me in anger. I’ll round up a mob with my Melee fighter cursing. I'll round the whole room up, which takes about 15 minutes if you do it proper, and when they're all rounded up and surrounding me, then my mages will start losing health here and there and some will get knocked. That one room on Zaramoths Horns where that 'eye-laser thing' is, is where I'll get knocked.

I must mention an example of where they would get knocked unconcious. My idea behind contracting a formation? AoE, baby!!! Don’t get me wrong, they still get knocked unconscious and sometimes 1 will even die, but they’re self-sustaining, so they can look after themselves and the whole party is healed in no time. It’s very funny, because the monster then becomes a ‘tug of war tool’ where I’m actually fighting against myself. As the party grew stronger in the middle of MERC, I couldn’t care less where they’re standing or what resistances they’re up against – I actually contract their formation and later in VET and ELITE when a monster gets healed by Death Magic, I’ll actually change both my CMs to a death spell – just because it’s fun. In the early stages I was always concerned when a monster was immune to fire or so. I never wanted my Mages inside the battle itself. In the past I would try to keep my Mages moving because a moving target gets hit less, and I always tried to keep them at a distance with all attention on my Melees. I built my party to stand on their own (self-sustaining), with me just dictating their offensive/defensive tactics and powers. Later I realized that it’s not the way to fight. I used it in the past and when I was in a big battle where I was struggling, I would tap H and M as fast as I could, which basically kept their bars up. If my memory serves me correct, potions basically add about 900% to your regeneration rate. I will only pause if I want to take a cool screenshot, or if I’m having trouble selecting a target, due to PC lag (too many monsters on screen). Potions: My personal opinion in the use of potions, is that I feel it’s almost the same as cheating – I feel the same about ‘pausing’. (The exception being Fist of Stone and Blood Assassin in the expansion, of course.) Goes back to the original DS and all.' I'm also staunchly against multi-classing. Absorption's a superior skill, but not an option.
