I drop a workbench, then build double-wide stairs up to the top of a sunken crypt.
I move workbench to the top of crypt.
Pull/kite Abomination over and I can chop at his legs as he's trying to get to me while I'm standing on top of the crypt. His attacks miss me 95% of the time.
So much faster than arrows, though fire arrows from a tree perch/platform works too.
