I'm playing as a level 27 duel wielding fighter/mage, I was a ranger but respecced into a fighter/mage once I got the battle tower so my DEX is quite high. My strategy in the first flying fortress i've encountered is to use charm on the groups of Black Ring wizards/fighters and then run away leaving the creature and charmed enemy to duke it out. I then lob arrows / magic missiles at the group until they come at me and then just smash them with my dual weapons - I managed to get a very high damage "Elder" purple vortex sword from the dungeon with the dragon at High Hall so can take enemies down quite quickly.
However I'm finding that with this strategy I still die tons mostly due to the skeleton archers who can 2-3 shot kill me, and it's also taking a damn long time to clear the fortress, which seems to be never-ending and absolutely huge with tons of enemies.
Has anyone got any better strategies for dealing with the fortresses? They seem to be exceptionally difficult and far harder than anything else encountered so far. I know you can just fly with your dragon to the end but I would like the XP and items from the mobs ideally.
