Are the Shapes of Horror Optional?

Thunder spamming it is... It's just that there are 2 of them and they managed to aggro so badly to fireball the area to death... Not to mention they also can thunder you with chain casted spells and practically instant kills you (we gain a ton of prot but in terms of magic defenses and protection, players lack that advantage unlike mobs that utilizes mana deflector to shunt them).

I solo most dungeons and stuff mainly because I don't find much people on Mari that runs them specifically (not like they need to since they are obviously much higher leveled than me!). With chains of destruction out people will mostly be working on that content since memento was out ages ago.

Using fire elementals on all 9 equipment slots (assuming wand and shield) reduces Fireball's damage to 1, it's what I do so the Fireballs become nothing more than knockdowns.

Thunder is still annoying, but that's why I use Divine Link on a pet and make it sit while I chase the dragon. Then it gets Thundered and I don't get caught in it.
