it doesn't work when there's only 1 cockroach, greater apocalypse killed my last pet just when I was about to win the fight.

My Frolicker didn't even end up using dazzling dance (via following the script) and still solo'd the entire fight vs two roaches and a Gnomish Rocket Chicken.

I completely forgot to maintain barkskin and dazzling dance, but my P/S Frolicker still nearly soloed the fight. (edited)

That barkskin just makes it trivial. I like this a lot. I lucked out on this one and got three cockroaches so I received zero damage the entire fight and they just kept refreshing apocalypse every time a new one came in. I know I won't always be that lucky but this strat is still pretty great.

I somehow managed to screw up every other strategy for this fight during my first heroic one, and this one nailed it! Cheers!
