You need a couple of characters (probably mages) with aoe spells and some people able to throw bombs.What we wound up using was the "Priest draws aggro with a heal/shield spell, and just casts Holy Word: Shield on herself from then on while the others beat the mobs down one-by-one" system. I'm not complaining - it actually worked well on the first group. The second group nailed us because the aggro wound up divided too much between myself (priest) and the mage, and I could not keep both alive. It was dumb of me to try, really - because if I just kept the shields on myself, I might not have run out of mana and could have remained alive as the primary aggro draw.
People sometimes don't realize how tough Priests are to kill - as long as we have mana, we can stay alive in the face of severe beatdowns. Many times that's all a party needs to beat a tough group.
