So you're saying it *is* a linebacker communion? Then why are the masters all casting the same buffs? Also, why are the slaves set *behind* the masters? Shouldn't they be placed forward so they're in position to attack?

The solution for the problem you cite is to either

1.) make the masters attack too (they're not as uberbuffed, but it's simpler so I usually do this),

2.) give the master a crossbow and set him to Fire, or

3.) have a master cast Blink. Soul Vortex + Fire Shield can kill things even if the slaves are sitting there passively because a master cast a spell. I've never tried #3 but it's at least potentially a real use for Blink.
