Any fight that I could kill eos in a reasonable time, it probably would have been a better idea to just obliterate the scholar. In low ranks the ones who don't micromanage it and just leave it out of their line of sight - maybe. It's a good target to hit if they're attuned or you're out of sprints.

It is really not a good strategy on the high rank scholars I face on a regular basis. One of them in particular will start DPSing if nobody is hitting her, and does TONS of damage.
