Hehe - I can see how that would be frustrating. I teamed up with an "okay" group of testers on Monday night that included two mages. We finally hit upon the following strategy that allowed the mages to live and me to tank. As a paladin I drew the monster to me and hit it with my best shot. The two mages would then target the beastie and let loose. This usually was all it took to kill a single monster. When engaging more than one we followed the above but the two mages would run like mad after getting off their shot and I would try to draw the second to me by chasing it down and attacking it. This was while the other two members of our party beat the snot out of the third critter. ;) The problems quickly became much as you had if we got to close to a spawn point and had fresh critters spawn while I was healing the others. (Our priest tended to drain his mana in battle and therefore couldn't heal anyone afterwards).
I'd love to hook up with any lurkers who got into the Beta. Feel free to whisper Eron on account Tal if you want to party. :)
