Then just CC the DRKs- don't worry about Purify, they won't use it. After that, kill them by reducing their HP to 0. When you kill them, they'll be dead. So simple even casual players can do it. We cracked the DRK premade.

This sounds like pretty heavy sarcasm.... spreading out during the enemy burst is actually extremely sound as a strategy. Salted is happening every 30 seconds, and unless you're otherwise engaged, the enemies are pretty easy to spot.

Let them hit a small number of your force than converge on them with you own burst is pretty standard mid level tactics.

Furthmore... giving up a point is exactly what you need to do if it means you live. If you take 10 deaths from an enemy burst that's more than the node was worth, and the enemy is probably also getting the point.

Suggesting bard is a little sus though... don't play bard. If your soul purpose is to delay/stop enemy burst then Monk, Warrior, Ninja, Dark Knight, Reaper, and Dancer are your best options.
