Well, this was a good tactic for Josie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
Tips:
Try to keep your resistances high with golden charms
go for items with a lot of charm slots (5), so you can boost what you are lacking.
what I liked very much was the survivor curse spell. I lowered resistances on enemies and then turned them with the mage polymorph spell into harmless little frogs/bunnies, so I could kill them.
Take care of the SE corner in this area - as there are 5-6 dragon riders. They attack with lightning.
Do not attempt to cross the lake without the spirit spell (either taught by the dragon Patriarch or you put a skill pt of your own into it). You need this spell to cross the lake, lvl 1 is sufficient.
As I played mage, I do not have a lot of warrior tips for you - but the swirl attack is really very good.
