Without the tactics mod; archers and assasins can really make mage battles easy. Most of the mages in SoA put up stoneskin as a contingency to being hit. That means the first hit counts. An archer with arrows of biting or an assasin firing arrows using the poison weapon ability will give you several rounds of spell disruption against most mages. And if they manage to throw up a really annoying protection spell, arrows of dispelling are really handy.

If you have the smarter mages from the tactics mod, just lead with the arrows of dispelling and follow with the poison damage. Or just beef up you attacks per round to run through the stoneskins faster.
