Ok try using stun, when they hit hard if you can stop their attacks for
a bit its as good as a heal.

Or get a second healer and play ping pong the the focus of the beasty.
Stun also helps in getting spells off.

Don't try to be the tank, but don't be afraid to hit it a few times if
your full of mana (if the beasty falls quicker it will do less damage).
Don't be affraid to stun or bomb espicially if you got a runner (trains
suck, do anything and everything to avoid them). Maybe when I get to 32
and SolB my experience and ideas will change from 28 and solA.
