Look, it's been a while since I played so I'll take your word for this, but I distinctly remember recasting it a bunch. Maybe I was just retarded and resting a bunch. Or maybe my encounters lasted more than a few turns.

I feel like this is essentially what I did. I don't remember having a particularly hard time in the super specific-enemy heavy areas. The beholder next place was also fairly ok once you've cast your buffs.
