Again, the actual fight itself was much less harrowing and worth talking about than getting TO the fight!
I was up early (3 am here) because I couldn't sleep and figured I'd go play in HS for a couple hours before anyone else in the house is awake. No one has been in north, so I just lulled the one bile that I can't get to stay dead and IVU'd to the safe area. Saw the two true hallway pathers wander off and the one who goes in and out of the first room standing in the hall, so I figured I'd mez him and let it wear off and root as he got closer and start killing stuff.
Well to this point, that has worked great for me. But that's because there was no named spawned in the room right there. The trash won't aggro if I mez that pather at his stationary spot in hallway, but apparently the named will.

While being frantic because of this unexpected surprise (I didn't even realize a named could spawn in that room - I had only killed a couple mobs from it yesterday after I aggrod them on accident!), I let the mez wear off the skele down the hallway and ate a HT and some melee. And I got a pather add, which managed to deliver a nearly-fatal blow just as I stepped away from him after rooting:

I sat there for a minute, not realizing that I needed to "stand" to get up... lol. When I did get back up, I realized I didn't relish the prospect of dying back in here at the time, so I gated out.
Take two, I safely cleared the hallway pather (he proxy aggrod onto a pet I sent at him and didn't bring adds from the room along. Lucky timing/LoS I guess?) and room pathers, lulled bile room, petted a skele and brought them into hallway to fight:

No charm break, no root breaks, no adds. My pet bit the dust with bile at 1% and I finished him off. Loot:

You may notice that I'm properly positioning my berserker spirit and rune 5 now. I just realized the higher buff is the one that takes damage first after seeing a log in this thread of "your bedlam fades" before rune dropped. Also figured I might as well bolster my mediocre intelligence for named fights just incase, and stuff. I'm also about to switch in a piece of hp gear to do you proud, Splorf! New charisma buff from 56 has me several points over max charisma

I'm going to be out of town on a crappy laptop for the weekend, so I don't expect to be killing any more nameds for a couple days. But I'll be all-too-happy to regale you with my SAC warmup stories when I get back
