Its entirely more reliable that the archer wont take damage rather than the melee.

i have a feeling some of you guys are saying stuff that you actually havent experienced, i think its likely that none of you have completed a speed run w/o full archers... to be perfectly honest
1. Burst down all the bones at once, no need to spread out or kill a couple at a time. Archers have wide volley and an array of other AOEs they can use (Leg Sweep from LNC is boss btw; conal AOE stun (Lv 16 LNC, probably would only take an hour to get to that level); PGL Aura Pulse is actually stronger then Archer AOE for that kind of burst vs bones. As long as MRD is in steadfast, they'll destroy anything that comes in their AOE range (i.e. bring the skeletons to the MRD's)

And if you want to maximize the DPS, anyone with Line of Fire use it, Shock Spikes II use it, Punishing Barbs use it.

2. You probably shouldn't be talking about having not experienced it. At least on the character linked to this account, you haven't even cleared Batraal in a "normal run".
