Well it's very reasonable that intelligent monsters will focus fire and take out the characetr they see as the groups' cornerstone.  You don't have to kill them.  You don't have to come even close.  But it sounds like their boss fights are too clsoe to cakewalks and they need the wind put up them <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  A good scare can make for a very memorable battle and if you give them a good fright they will hopefully take your point and try to make the build a bit more robust.Of course, I could be completely wrong and have misinterpretted a chunk of what you have posted... But it's just my 2cp worth and you should think through what you are going to do first.All that aside it sounds like the approach you have taken in this case is working well for you so maybe just keep it in mind in case the guy makes a habit of this kind of thing <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Cheers!</blockquote>
