Asylum shade lich..., Skeleton Lord's are tearing my tanks a new one! Options

[olimikrig]

Tried everything I can think of here.. The lich itself isn't really that much of a problem, the skeleton lords, however, are simply just too much for my front-liners. They are tearing my tanks to pieces within seconds. I don't really understand just wth is going on, I've dealt with other skeleton Lords before, and they weren't too much of a problem (the planar sphere demon fight amongst others).

My party is (all lvl 13-14):

Vagrant
Berserker
Anomen
Valygar
Nalia
Imoen

Heck, I've even tried resorting to some cheesier tactics, bottlenecking the Skeleton Lords in the corridors back towards the crystal area, but I still only seem to be able to get one of them down - at most - before my melee guys start dropping like flies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd hate to have to end up resorting to lowering the difficulty.

Sounds like your general difficulty is in the tanking department. Your use of the term 'front liner' suggests you aren't using your arcane casters enough as meatshields. They are unbeatable in physical tanking until your vagrant is fully decked out. A level 14 sorceress should be able to nullify about 800-1000 physical damage per fight vs lords/grandlords, no need to cheese, no need to heal. You could even slide the difficulty bar to insane, and the outcome wouldnt differ by too much.
