As earth spec, you'd basically have to hope you find them standing still and not paying attention long enough for you to send a bunch of pets at them. You're only advantage is that you can start casting pets before they're in range for their insta, but assuming they have hastener on, you might get one or two out by the time they get into range if they're paying attention, and then you're basically done since you can't run, can't cast, and they're not gonna die from one to two earth pets. You could maybe try sending pets on their subpets first, which they're less likely to notice, meaning you'd have more time to get more pets off, but even without pets, you're basically dead once they get in range with their insta if you don't already have at least four to five pets on the BD itself.

Ice is possible since it's really difficult to target a theurg with giant ice pets standing in front of them, and they also give you a way to get out of insta range if the BD does get close enough. Air is possible because you can neutralize the BD and pets long enough to get enough air pets out to chain stun.

Basically, earth is not a good solo spec, even if you're going up against other classes, let alone against a BD.

Are BD heal pets effectively neutralised if they have a melee pet on them? (their casting is fully rupted and they die in a few hits?)

Also what is the priority for who the heal pets will heal? BD > commander > other pets?

Yes, the pets are interrupted when they get hit, and I think you're right about the priority order, but I'm not completely sure.

Also, if you can give the bonedancer a small smack first the healpets will starthealing him and only start healing the BD after they have finished

Only worth it though if you habe a small instant or a fast attackspeed weapon. So not really a good theurg tip, more general VS BD

No, i dont think that would be worth it. The pets will switch to healing the bonedancer after finishing their first round of healing.
And you want the PA to get through the bubble.

As assassin you probably have to just bruteforce it. Backstab might give you the option to sidestun a bit later and get a few hits in before you get str-debuffed. If you know purge is down on the BD though PA with CD-stun is better
