Does anyone know how this mission is supposed to work?

I've heard about the spam powder boots "strategy", but that clearly can't be how the mission is intended to work - SE would never release it if that were actually necessary.

Somebody on the dev team must have beaten it with 3 people or they wouldn't have released it saying 3-6 people. Probably without using a ton of charged items, too. So there must be some trick to it that isn't obvious - simply avoiding all aggro wouldn't be enough, even if it's possible.

I skipped this assault mission entirely. I did repeats until I hit SP rank so I didn't have to do it ; ; I just heard it was that bad.

My apologies for dragging this from the dead, but I'm curious to know if Diabolos using Nightmare on the crawlers would work in this Assault? The idea being that hate will be removed when Diabolos is released.

The strategy, if this works, is to have the summoner move the crawlers making a path for the "feeders". The summoner would call Diabolos, do Ultimate Terror for AoE aggro, leave Diabolos out and take off (with Retreat) for a section where the guards are already fed. Once there, use Nightmare to sleep them all, then proceed to release Diabolos. Then, once the next section of guards is fed, rinse and repeat with the next batch of crawlers.

The problem with this is MP cost, but I think a BRD + RDM + Sanction/refresh + -1 Avatar perceptuation cost + mp refresh gear will help extend Diabolos's time. Unfortunatley, I don't know his mp/tick cost so I'm not sure how much it would help.
