About the Shrine (moongate?) tactic, it will usually fail after a time.
One time I was battling Spiders and of course none of them could fit through but if you watch their tactics, you notice they occasionally will jump. and jump one of them did right into the middle of the moongate. I was a weakling at the time and it got me.
Another time I was battling some wolves at a shrine that they refused to enter so I picked them off with my bow. There was about 20 wolves attacking me and a bear type creature. Everything was going fine until a boar type creature who spit locust attacked and of course killed me. So shrine aren't a total cheses wiz factor.
As far as water, the designers in the first patch put in some fish monsters so it is just a little bit harder to battle from water to land.
Once cheese tactic that has worked well for me is the tower tactic. Go to the outdoor tower an run up the stairs part way. The stairs are so narrow you only have to face one mosnster at a time.
