At initial ranged encounters against spell casting opponents: cast element and soul shield in the first round while your archers "soften up" the monsters. Second round use RUN and wade in to melee. But run carefully. Guide your party to a spot where your hackers can hit at least 2-3 monsters without having to move again.

If you have a third pc who can cast freeze all, do so in the first round as well (for all but water resistant monsters… a life saver in Castle Rapax!). Freeze all allows you to concentrate on those you are attacking, without worrying about those you are not. Freeze it and forget it! I found this to be the best spell overall.
