Sonya didn't get a chance to grant combat advantage. That would have been a considerably easier battle had Valerian hit on 13s and 12s instead of 15s.
(Also, I think that, given all the enabling power we loaded, taking her down like that is fair. Had any part of the combo missed, that would have been a hellish fight.)
You don't understand. Marial had silly attacks like an arrow that dazes the target it hits and then ricochets to other targets, dazing each of them. And she goes down like a punk.
We unloaded a billion dailies on her. The same would have happened had the dominate missed and Valerian fought her instead, for example. On a nova turn, we could have hit for...one second...
-One minor action attack.
-Another minor action attack.
-One charge.
-A second charge hit.
-Two action-pointed attacks with a WIS bonus to damage.
-An extra bonus to damage equal to +15, if properly positioned. This is per hit.
-Potentially, a punishment attack off-turn.
This with two rolls per attack except the double hitter, hitting on a 2, and before adding in Euri and Ashara's buffs, or the owlbear's aura. If we fight a single fight per rest, we will decimate it. We've got three strikers and two leaders. If we're not making mincemeat out of a target, we're doing it wrong. I would honestly suggest keeping the Furies within two to three levels of us *at most*, but giving them phases like Final Fantasy bosses - otherwise, we're going to trash them. Our focus fire damage is obscene.
PS: Incidentally, what about Marial's fight would have made her so horrible for Valerian? Or was that miss Barbarian you were thinking of?
