We did it in a group of 3, with the changes to blocking tower shields are actually really good here, we ran 1 person as a tank, using a black metal tower shield, and frostner, all health foods.

I had the crystal battle-axe that I would use primarily, with another frostner/tower shield to jump in and tank when my buddy started getting low. Once he helped up we would switch back

(Heads up though, he never throws meteors at the person he is chasing)

And then we had another spamming frost arrows and tasty mead to keep up on stamina
