105 SMolo Magician, self-buffed
I was feeling a bit sad for the Placeholders, gardeners armed only with a hoe, doing a great job keeping the gardens tidy. No enemies in the world apart from outsiders like us who just want to tick them off a list.
Areut is different though, the Shoo spell gets cast repeatedly and makes this fight messy as I got a grand tour of the upper gardens as we were shunted around.
On the plus side, none of the animals will assist, though I expect the Alarans would. Even though we got pushed close to Alarans several times, none assisted, maybe I was lucky.
There probably are cleaner ways to fight this guy to avoid the pushes but mage pets are great at reaquiring their targets, so I only needed to fight this guy once.
