For TG, take your water take and get him into DH. Land him directly over your archer until the DH runs out and you return to normal, then rightclick over the tao. 99% of the time it will just cast onto the archer, if it doesnt, move the mouse just a bit and rightclick again until it casts on the archer. Your archer, or any other character for that matter, wont be able to be shielded by anyone but your tao from that point on.
