Actually fcklon, you make a valid point. Perhaps my strategy could be construed as cheesy too, but the difference is there is no guarantee that the beast will use wing buffet. I have fought him where he never used it. I am simply preparing for and expecting one of his better abilities, much like you might cast negative plane protection on a character before they fight vampires. Whereas there is a patch to stop the cloudkill thing, since the difference is that the creature has not been activated since they are off the screen...but I digress, in actuality you are correct, no one tactic ir "right", and your strategy is as valid as mine, and probably a lot more efficient. Whatever gives you the most enjoyment is really what its all about right?
I have mutual respect for your posts as well, and my hat goes off to an argument well made.
