Thank you for the information everyone. My CNJ was worried that sleep doesn't proc that well, but from what I've seen some users do, I thought Sleep actually has an okay proc rate. I'd like to add that the CNJ does do proper buffs. He's a full fledged CNJ after all. Never thought of refreshing Stoneskin II in the middle of the fight though.

Should I keep BOTH War Drum and Warmonger in my action palette or favor Warmonger over War Drum? I'm really short on Action points here. Should I temporarily drop Still Precision II and Invigorate for this fight to make room for more points into some other skill? Cure II to heal myself or Sac II?

I was thinking of Absorb spells, but I wasn't sure if they were that effective since they sucked in 1.18. I have a few from leveling THM. I was thinking of using Absorb ATK on those guys so I could mitigate the damage I'm taking in.

Should the CNJ be nuking at all or just concentrate on keeping me healed and keeping them Sleeping while trying not to get killed? Does Sleep even work on NM mobs?

Also, because of the fact that there's 3 drakes, it's somewhat difficult to be on the side of most of those drakes while fighting them. They surround us in a circle in a sense sometimes so positioning is tricky. We'll try to work on our positioning, though.

But yeah, our PGL is capable of 1v1ing even the THM NM. The main issue I have is trying to keep the other three away so the PGL doesn't get hit by the AOE from the other three mobs. Also, which mobs should we go for first? The non-NMs? The drake NM or the THM NM? That's the part I'm trying to figure out. If I help the PGL out by focusing attacks on one mob, that means the PGL is going to get hit by the same stuff I'm going to get hit by (the AoEs), whereas, as you pointed out, if I keep the pack away from the PGL, then I'm not going to be able to contribute damage to the mob the PGL is 1v1ing. The longer it takes the PGL to take down the mob, the more damage I'll take over the long run, so it's a bit of a Catch-22 I guess.

The other thing I'm terribly worried about is the THM using Shadowsmear. I'm guessing however if we don't focus on the PGL first this isn't much of a problem since it'll do no damage whatsoever.
