This is double illegal. ONE Ring of Gaxx per adventure, and NO WAY you can wear an item of protection with magic armor. This barbarian is cheating his butt off!
Here's what I'd do to kill someone like him, though:
Timestop will really be your friend. You can hit as often as you can strike, and you'll always hit. Lower Resistance, Black Blade of Disaster, Finger of Death, Disintegrate, Polymorph Other, even lowly Chromatic Orb ... any insta-death spell is good.
Power Word: Blind is great against enemies, but if you're in the same party, he'll be able to see whatever you see, including where you are. Symbol: Death, Symbol: Stun and Symbol: Fear might be better. Resist Lightning / Spell Trap + Lightning Bolt could work, if you're in a narrow hallway.
Don't bother with Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting, Chain Lightning or other party-friendly spells (includes, unfortunately, Greater Malison). Strength might be useful: it'll cut his strength down to 18/50 if it's 19 or above.
Sunfire is a great spell. Skull Trap is even better if you're protected from its effects (by a Minor Globe of Invulnerability, for example) -- up to 20d6! Put three of those in a Sequencer and three more in a Trigger, and then one in a Contingency and another three in a Chain Contingency
