What difficulty are you on, BTW?

Spoiler!

I think it's a gauntlet as much for the tome of evil as for the nexus golum, but either way.

Laz, my strategy there on nightmare was to keep my ranged party members backed up against the doorway to the previous room (it locks when the fight starts) and then have Aveline (or whoever your tank is) creep slowly into the room, aggroing as little as possible. As soon as you aggro, get the hell out of the room, and fight everything at the bottom of the steps. If you play your cards right, you'll be able to save between waves.

That was actually my strategy for about 99% of Nightmare. Never fought anything in the room that it spawned. Tried to break the waves up so that they're manageable.

You probably don't want to hear this, but there are much worse fights to come.
