Suggestion to "fix" gestalt Abigail "soloing bosses"

[RussoDaFederal]

Ok, first of all, I'd like to say that Wendy being AFK while Abigail soloes bosses is simply not true, as they will ignore Abigail and target Wendy frequently, and at the very least you still have to dodge their attacks. Gestalt Abi still wrecks a lot of bosses, but she's not the absolute menace the forum claims she is. "Oh but you can stand on a boat and-" yeah sure, you could do the same with any ranged weapon though. I'm not counting positioning exploits.

Secondly, I believe no amount of damage nerf will solve this issue, because if according to these people Wendy can be AFK for the whole fight, a damage nerf would only make the fight last longer but still with no risk for Wendy and maybe you'd need a few more healing elixirs.

That said, my proposal is to rework a core mechanic. Remove the rile up command for gestalt Abigail. Hear me out. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. A non riled up Abigail will only target whatever Wendy is targeting, or whatever is attacking Wendy, and she'll lose focus pretty quickly too, which means Wendy must be actively fighting for her to do something. I can't think of another way to nerf gestalt Abi that won't make her battle behavior super convoluted. Another way to attack is with the "attack at" aka the dash command, but this needs to be fixed because currently it matches the damage of regular Abi during the dash. One way to fix it would be to remove the damage during the dash, since AoE is not pertinent to gestalt Abi, and only damage whatever mob is closest to the center of the indicated circle.
