Yes, in NG+ and beyond they become one of the most fun bosses there is. I find that understanding what they are doing and adapting to play off them is a good start.
I tend to use medium armor, crest shield (as I have not made magic warriors) plus magic or greater magic making sure to reapply it whenever it wears off no matter what, a +15 longsword buffed with crystal magic weapon, but resins could work I imagine, and lots of green moss. This lets me move around pretty freely, block their magic attacks when they spawn, and crystal magic weapon has enough casts I can keep it up consantly instead of sunlight blade which tends to run out once they are around 30%.
Then I charge hack away two handed while making sure I'm at their back and sides at all times. Usually it ends quickly enough before they use magic and if they do the barrier prevents it from being lethal so I am able to only bring my shield out when another spawns. Has not failed me once.
