Clearing battles at that point becomes largely how well you tweek your attacks with your flux's, do that and it'll become a cake walk again.
Yeah, I came to a similar conclusion, though I'm a bit sad with the Flux abuse because I've found that several really difficult bosses can be turned into total push overs with the right party/set-up. I think the most amusing if frustrating one I found is the optional battle in Nidr's quest. I just kept getting my ass kicked by that boss until I realized that one of Nidr's moves completely trivializes the battle.

Now I'm at the point where Fluxes are super important if I want to get anything else done in the game. I don't mind the idea behind the system, I just wished that gaining them wasn't so random.
