Last night I did about 2 hours worth of haunted symphony runs. I was on my level 57 bird, there was a 58 bear and a level 60 mage. Non of us were using elixirs. Others came and went but we three were working together. The mage pointed out that thorn wall, lightning and hellscream were a mega combo so the bear would taunt and beckon, then I would thorn wall, the mage would lightning while the bear hellscreamed and stomped. I'd fit my own combo in there also. We were rolling. I'd estimate we hit the mega about 30-40% of the time and even when we didn't the mobs received the bear's and my regular combos plus nature strike and terror. I'm not even sure the mage had to do his own combo or not. Most of the time there were 2 other birds with us, I guess they cleaned up any stragglers we happened to miss.
One thing I think we were doing wrong is skipping the mini boss. We got separated there a few times and had to remake. I think it's just as fast to kill the mini than it is to take the time to get everyone safely away from him.
One of the keys was that me and the mage weren't attacking at all until we saw the bear beckon. This kept the aggro on him and his beckon was much more effective.
We did remake at panto. If it was just the three of us we would have had trouble with him but if the 2 extra birds were there I think we would have taken him out pretty easily.
The main point of this post is the mega combo. I've never been in a group before where we actually tried to get the mega. It is really effective if everyone knows what to do. The bird should wait until he sees the bear beckon, the mage should lightning after he sees or hears thorn wall and the bear should hellscream after lightning. Remember to not attack until the bear has them beckoned so he has a chance to pull them all to the wall.
