In need of some fresh tactics on defeating Dreadmares
   

These guys are tough. They automatically turncoat three of my guys right off the bat. I have sane mind, but cleansing each turncoated char takes too much time. I noticed that they are very vulnerable to physical attacks, but getting close to them is costly on health. How do you guys usually deal with them?

Make sure you have magic screen up, and cast soul shield at the maximum setting at the start of the fight.

If you fight them at maximum range I find that the ones furtherest away from you will retreat rather than fight which means you only have to deal with a couple of them which is much easier.

I'd say this is the key. Once those are in place, I generally charge. As long as I'm thinking of the right critter, they are only dangerous when casting spells from a distance.

Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Also those horses are classified as "Beasts" so if you have that Axe of Beastslaying it will do 70+ damage a swing.
