It isn't as though the spellcasting option increases the CR, and it seems as if your party could use the extra challenge. Alternately, you could throw in a handful of CR 6 Mages (trade Fly for Dispel Magic) for virtually no change in the CR of the fight (because of the large CR disparity) and great bang for your buck (now you have half a dozen chances to dispel Foresight and all the Counterspells you could ask for).I also assumed that an EK wouldn't waste an action casting Haste unless he knew an encounter was coming. While the AC is nice, you're not getting much extra damage from it at that point (because you give up 3 attacks to gain an additional attack per round).You said that your range was 120, so I think its reasonable to assume that that's the range you'd normally engage at. Dragon flies at 80 and the range of Dispel is 120. Meaning if you can hit the Dragon, that Dragon could Dispel you.I'm not saying that you aren't very powerful. Just the opposite, you are. What I am saying is that I don't think you'd be quite the monster you are without the resources that your party invests in you. And because they invest so much in you, they have a weak point in you. If an enemy isolated you (such as using a Maze spell), the party's output would drop significantly. Possibly enough for your party to wipe. In the case of Maze, since the enemy knows where you'll reappear (albeit, not when) if he's managed to take care of the party there's a decent chance he could burn you down. Your EK is undoubtedly powerful, but he's not invincible. Heck, any 5th level caster that can cast Wind Wall can turn you into the lowest DPR character in the party (at least while you're on the other side of the Wind Wall) because it automatically negates ranged attacks.</blockquote>
