Then after I respecced to deal with them, all the other mobs got too difficult to deal with as a hybrid party, even after min-maxing.
Hmm yeah tactician can ramp it up fast and be pretty hard to get a good footing. Steal/buy a lot of res scrolls. At first it will definitely not be insta-kill ezpz. But deathwish definitely helps A LOT and I think can be your saviour, have you used that? It's honestly all about upgrading your gear and pre-fight setup. Also making sure to have high ground advantage and the correct person going first. CC is pretty important if you can't kill them straight up too. Crippling, blinding, slowing, knockdown so they do little on their turns. I'm actually going through tactician right now in A2, not using deathwish as much as I should but I pretty much just CC to win.
I'm not the biggest fan of tactician honestly, normal is way more fun imo. Tactician just makes you min/max so much and go far and beyond on setup and gaming the system which kind of kills it for me, but still when you get to that point of blowing tactician up it's satisfying. The enemies just have upped hp/armor and act slightly more all in I think?
