This is one of the things I always did on my bard. It worked really well except for the times when I feared my mezzed mobs

I think dispell is huge but its the kind of thing that people need to coordinate on. But its hard for me to see what could be better than slamming incoming mobs with 4x Nullify Magics from basically every caster. Shaman mobs will have sow, haste, and tali. Wizards will have shielding and ds. Clerics will cast both heroism and symbol. Stripping all of that nonsense for a few hundred mana seems like a huge win.

I don't understand why SKs (and Necros) never pull. Maybe it's just the surplus of monks, but Necros seem straight up fantastic at it, and SKs should be decent. Heck, just summon your shitty little pet and send it in, then FD around the corner and let your group mates tag.

I never thought about it this way, but that makes a lot of sense.
