Try to lure them alone without all the other enemies - use a sealth arrow to weaken them. If there is a spawner that should be your priority - just weaken the enemies and destroy them with the spawner.

If there are archers lure the enemies you fight arround trees and move a lot to not get hit by arrows.

If you want to use some probably not intended game-mechanics - climb on trees - somtimes it seems as if some enemies pathfinding fails.

Also never do the swamps without a potion against poison.
