I just wanted to chime in and say that it is still possible, if highly unlikely, to get almost every single Griffon/Minotaur on you at the same time when doing this run solo. 2-3 of the Minos right outside Augury won't follow you all the way there. No biggie. But just the other day I got all but 3 Griffs in the same pile. There's usually 1 group way farther NE than the rest of the Griffons, and they simply won't stick to you long enough to round up the rest of the gang. The rest can be done if you're really careful and do the run enough so that you can do it in your sleep.
If you're doing any Vigorous/Vicarious/Vampiric cyclone build then you're in heaven
At the end of the day I usually use the Cyclone/Glad's combo to do most of the work, just cause it's so incedibly reliable (Rockshots don't really matter at all if you cast your timed enchants under Glad's protection), but there's always the temptation to try something new. An almost 100% tactics build sounds very interesting for sure, and the Apply Poison + Cyclone thing is something I've thought about before.
7 tactics skills and 1 stregth ftw imo.
