I was actually writing an almost identical post then saw yours. This fight drives me nuts. The NPC AI is terrible and often ridiculous. I've had several occasions when NPCs cast or throw an AOE on the ground, JUMP INTO THE MIDDLE OF IT, then run out again.
The Gondians on the lower floor have an absolute deathwish. I had a rage quit moment last night and have decided I can't save them all, so as long as I keep Toobin alive, I've decided not to care.
I'd love to see any strategies that work well.
Also, do the neural switchboard things do anything? I've had a go at destroying them but can't tell if they have an effect.
