How do you guys do it??
One technique that works well as a druid is to memorize a bunch of summon animal spells... Just fill up on animal summoning 1's, and repeatedly cast them around the mage. They will go through their spells pretty fast on the critters, and once you get them to get rid of their 7th and up spells, you can dance around and engage them to trigger their 2cd wave of protections... Stall them again and finish them off.
As a fighter/druid I liked to close in with the lich once they loose their mantles and such and smack them around with the gnasher. It does additional poison damage in subsiquent rounds, so it serves well to interrupt mages....
Of course if you can land one of the insect spells, particularly creeping doom or insect plauge yer golden.
Long Live Fighter/Druids! ... And have fun.
