sure, they'd be fine, as long as you were a good puller heh. even if you weren't
that great a puller at first, you'd be ok, as long as they were good at ghettomezzing
(root parking) if you got too many. during the fight, the druids could each shoot
off one dot, dd as mana permits, the paladins can chain stun (may take some
communication), and you can basically do the pulling, depending on how well
the chain stunning went, i'd twist hymn/nivs/largos, or hymn/nivs/haste, and mez
and/or charm if you got extras. oh, and note that ghettomezzing only works on
melee types, not casters, heh. if you get a caster, either they need to fight it
first or you need to mez it.

so it sounds like you're more worried about them assisting and the like. have them
make a hotkey and tell the primary assist never to switch targets unless you tell
him to, heh.
