Don't forget, like the Ritual (and Eclipse, and many of the other wicked Weimer fights), Improved Faldorn is a side fight - any you don't enjoy, you can skip. I haven't yet fought Improved Faldorn, but I look forward to it. I suspect there are things you can do, though - although most of tactics is fairly cheesy (inexhaustible spell casting scripts spring to mind)

The really extraordinary thing about the Ritual is the awesome scripting - low level, low stat NPCs with no cheesy no-drop gear give you an incredibly tough fight, along with some cool dialogue
