Area of Effect spells work great. The fact that ranged attacks seem to be more effective than close combat magnifies their usefullness.
When using grease and a party full of archers (okay, the cleric uses a sling), I can take out an entire enemy horde without a scratch. Fighting the same battle hand-to-hand results in a lot of suffering and additional healing after.
Ranged attacks are very effective (except of course when you get the "weapon ineffective" message because you're using normal arrows against a creature that can only be hit by magical weapons -- I've wasted quite a few arrows that way). The only bugger is running out of ammo.
