Oh i see ...
I was kinda lost with laser turets. laugh

Well, luring it with pet sounds like good idea ... i wonder if you can use two pets ... both Gale and Wyll can learn summon familiar. Then if they were long enough from each other you could keep Minotaurs in combat, and provide another familiar from distance. laugh

About deactivating defences ...
I didnt try yet on Patch 4 ... but in the past i was able to bypass the statues by simply casting fog mist, or darkness ... without disabling them. Maybe that could help?

That healing out of combat seem like a problem, but if you lure them to open gate with your character, and then close the gate ... your character should keep them in combat and they should not be able to kill him until they destroy the gate ... question is if those statues will kill them fast enough. :-/
So far the only statues i tryed in combat were in druid secret passage and they were attacking me in real time ... so every few second my character gets huge damage, even if it was not even his turn, so he had no way to awoid it. laugh
