A skilled melee can solo one, /nin or stun recommended to counter their magic, linked hate seemed to be no issue. Sac pull was not tested but doubtful it will work with linked hate; it is not necessary if you got melee to take care of adds. They have quite some HP so not to be taken lightly.

Tested with tier 1 spells to see which element it was weak to. All elemental tier 1s did 1-8 dmg except Blizzard, which did 44. SMN physical BPs were resisted, Nether Blast was 130~dmg, Holy Mist might be very useful since it is weak to light.
