Any Level 25+ Elemental Any Level 25+ Elemental	DavidG	This will take a while, since you'll lose a hit every time he blinds you. By using Cauterize when blind, you do manage to save a bit of time. That said, Atherton only have one attack that does damage, and it's on a long cooldown, so Cauterize is easily able to keep up. By the time Atherton is dead, there won't be much left of the rest of his team. It might be interesting to experiment with a S/S Bound Stream (1,1,2) in slot one using Healing wave and Tidal Wave. That has the advantage of 341 speed making it faster than Atherton, so you only lose one round to his blind. Script courtesy of Epytropos This has a Yellow tag for Shadowlands readiness. It appears to still be working, could some kind soul let me know the cause of the readiness tag, so I can see if it can be addressed. Thanks.	Script	2	5.0	99%	44	245 4:05	24+

Used a Fozling with stoneskin and quake in slot 1. Stoneskin or pass to bait blinding poisen then quake away. Still used a Tiny Twister with the same priority as pet two. Had to use 1 attack from pet three to finish.

Worked flawlessly. I used an H/S Tiny Twister if that matters.
