So many subtle tactics...

That's amazing advice. Something I was unaware of.

The advice in this thread was generally not good for my party. What you learn from playing MMO's is you have to take care of the adds first. But hey, the people posting in this thread must know what they are doing, so we'll focus on the Oracle. I didn't have success until I let Eder tank the Oracle, then focused on killing the dynamic entities and the adds with the rest of the party. It seems like if you destroy the dynamic entities there will be fewer adds, and if you try to ignore the adds they will annihilate your party and you won't have a chance. It doesn't take too many delayed fireballs and such to really make a real mess, especially if you are using a close formation to take advantage of healing benefits. Because of all the AOE's and the charm and domination attacks I had more success when I spread the party out.

Two years later, on a Linux box, this problem still exists. geissomatik is correct, it does seem to be an issue with games being saved within a few seconds of each other, or with characters that haven't changed location. It can be worked around, but it's a fairly annoying bug, and I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to fix.
