The Mages are pretty harmless alone, same for the Guards. It's the combination of both that makes the difference so I would say it works like intended.

I disagree. I got zapped by 3 of them off screen and was left with a tiny sliver of health WITH lightning resist. Versus Galvanic Ribbons in Solaris Temple who can spam at me and it's nothing.

Be slow and careful. Some players tend to run through the game like bitten by a Tarantula, I never do this. I go step by step and try to kill mobs outside of the screen if ever possible. The Mages there are a good example, It's strongly recommended to use decoy totems there, minions, Traps, everything that can stop them. Flasks with lightning resists are also a great idea.
I only died with my Ranger there, but my Melee Marauder had not mich trouble, resists and Endurance charges can help in this Areas with guards and mages. And of course a summoner has even less trouble.
The Mage Arc is mean, avoiding shock stacks is important, one trick is to get one Fairgraves Tricone Hat Unique (it's not that expencive afaik), for this areas, with that you can't be shocked anymore.
