You can use ranged weapon or magic to get rid of them. "Meteorstrike" can be very handy when you face those semi-bosses. You won't regret it.
The game is hard if you try to melee in low levels and very easy if you attack from a distance. Try and kill those monsters, you will gain unbeleivable amount of XP.
