This expansion was a great add on. Thank God for Druids. My Druid would turn into an Earth elemental with immunity to slashing. I am not sure if that is one of the benifits of the Earth Elemental or the other equipment on her as well as being an Earth Elemental gave her over % 100 slashing resistance. Any way it made the guards in the castle fairly easy as I could have the rest of my party take it easy and watch the show. Worked well in dealing with the summoners laterer on in the game as she just walked in and crushed them with no resistance. For other areas of Heart of Winter the Burial isle comes to mind were she would take on the entire army of drowned dead and the rest of my crew would just sit back and fire away.

A cleric also works great (turn undead) - works on spectral guards as well :D

I agree with the cleric thing with undead, except I found it never to be a sure thing for working. Than again I could have ending up with an unluckly roll of the die quite frequently. Then my priest would end up bleeding profusly from the wounds received from the angry spirits. When facing 10 Galabozos I perfer to have the druid to keep them busy or act as a punching bag for them. It is actually kind of a neat display to watch.
