That's how my group does it, but we take it slow to prevent deaths. We got a GLA tanking Bat, though.

1 MRD on Batraal with 1 healer. Everyone else clumps up skeletons and banish/scourge/wide volley ect them down takes about 15~20 seconds at most.

The basics would be off-tanking skeleton adds with a 2nd MRD while DPSing Batraal full-time
yes, but lets not let the MRDs here on the forums hear. It's much more fun to watch them cry about how useless they think they are :)
Who needs to kill skele when you can stack BR arch WS to deal 700-1k each..
yeah thx for not being one of those gonna keep all tips to ourself ls's
People are complaining too much about that sorta thing :)
oh, and i did make a thread posting Batraal strategy already a few days ago :) so no need to say that we aren't giving strategy away.

we are working VERY hard on ourselves figuring out fast kill strategies, and people expect hard work to just be handed over on silver platter? :(
Figuring it out on your own is part of this game, part of the fun, excitement, and self-respect.
There are tons of threads talking about fighting strategies. Fast kills, battle regiments, etc.
We have confirmed and closed all the theories :) it's 35+ minutes, fast kill. That saves everybody from killing themselves over more theories!
So please try hard and do your best at boss strategies and killing :)
I wish you all luck with that! :)
Well... just to make them believe you and confirm the 35+ minutes theory:
Most media player's offer a screenshot-function. Now you just have to open your kill video and maybe do a video-screenshot from the start of your Batraal Fight and the moment he has, let's say, like 1% left.
About your worrys regarding your strategy... there are tons of graphic-programms with a "blur"-function or you just "paint" a censored bar over the chat-log and every character on-screen (you could leave your names on-screen so no one can say that it's a stolen screenshot). I doubt you can figure out a strategy if you can't see the characters jobs and their exact stance and only thing visible are the monsters.
Batraal at 20%
That's a screenshot from our first Batraal-Kill, he was at around 20% there. I've timer problems, sometimes the timer shows up and sometimes it dosn't... that's why you can't see it on this screen. =/ But if there would be a timer visible... that would give you a pretty good idea about how fast you were.
Batraal down
Since my timer was broken i don't know if the timer was still up there or not. But you can see for sure that Batraal is down. You could offer a similar screenshot and then everyone would shut up. :-P
