Grenadiers use grenades, get right up in his face and use the weapon of your choice. Yes, you will get hit by the grenade (but there's no real way around that and I have yet to see one miss). But while it's hurting you it will ALSO HURT HIM. Or you can play catch with him using grenades (from a safe distance) if you have enough health. But your grenades do about 3 times as much damage to him as his do to you.

Brigands and raiders use daggers and they throw them. OFTEN. Ranged attacks will keep you away from the close work (they both have eviscerate) but whatever you plan on doing with them, do it FAST (attack or run away). They close the distance to you FAST (because eviscerate is much more effective then even a sidewinder). They seem to have a high tolerance for players around them so unless you need them for something or can handle them solo it's probably best to leave them alone.

Also undead gypsies use life drain. The best bet is to use hex eater to drain off their vodoo. Or if you get a low level one, I have seen them use up their vodoo a few times but it's hard to do and a lower level player might not stand up to the damage before it happens.
