Aldrenas: can you go into more detail about what thugs you are using? I have not fought LA ermor myself (due to objections over thier dominion) but from what I understand the conventional way to fight them is with massed banishments. And the way to use thugs vs them is pretty much any chasis plus a fire shield and regen.
Supposedly, Phoenix Pyre spreads the fatigue from dying among communion slaves just like spell fatigue. I'm pondering trying the following in my current game (vs. LA Ermor):

Get a bunch of cheap S1 mages.
Have them cast Communion Slave.
Communion masters cast Fire Shield, Phoenix Pyre, Summon Earthpower, Personal Luck. Then they either retreat or start firing bows or something.
Communion slaves all Attack Closest.

Phoenix Pyre is pretty weak but it has a huge area of effect that should mess LA Ermor up pretty good. Of course it would be more efficient to use all those massed communion slaves to cast H4 Banishment--but this way sounds like more fun.
