SPOILER--
I have three mages--Aerie, My Elf Mage, and Imoen... which meant I was a little screwed when it came to fighting melissan. Here's how I dealt with it.
I buffed up my fighters (Keldorn Minsc and Jaheira) with haste and the like.
I memorized as many Comets, horrid wiltings, lower resistance, breach, ruby ray of reversals as I possibly could.
So when the fight starts, my fighters charge her, not using any techniques yet since she stoneskins. I retaliate with a breach and a ruby ray of reversal while the last mage casts a lower resistance. overkill maybe but I'm that kind of guy.
When stoneskin drops, I use greater whirlwind on all my fighters (thank god for pause) and have my mages cast another lower resistance, a horrid wilting, and aerie casts a mass cure.
From then on I pelt her with magic missiles while the fighters beat her using aerie to heal as needed and imoen to strip defenses as needed.
You have to fight her 4 times total so spell rationing is required.
But I agree, the basic concept is strip her defenses and beat her to death. Dont' kill her minions cause if anything dies near her, it comes back as a slayer shadow.
