The thing is, no matter how good the team is, they're never going to
have as good a timing as the multi-boxer except with luck. the
multi-boxer is going to be able to hit a single target with say 5
casting time spells followed immediately by 5 instants, all pretty
much within the exact same second. That doesn't leave much, if any
time for someone to put a heal on their target. Heal lands too early,
there's nothing to heal yet, too late, and the target's dead.
Now, something like pain suppression to let you get in close and live
long enough to get an AoE fear off, might work. Once the group's
split up a bit, ranged attacks at max range to nuke one of em them
while the rest are still too far away from the attacks, (and hopefully
still feared so they can't just heal their friend through the attacks)
might work.
That'd be my guess anyway. Never come across them myself.
