If you want to play it safe, take down all adds as they arrive and whittle down the Necromancer's HP when you can. However, if you have a strong enough team, you can leave the far weaker Bone Rabbles up, and hopefully, the Necromancer will then unwittingly fill his ranks with this trash enemy, which you can simply ignore - leaving you to focus on the Necromancer.

It's important to get rid of the Bone Solider and Bone Defender adds as soon as you can as they will just make the battle more troublesome. The Vestal and Crusader both have a damage bonus when it comes to Unholy enemies, so they can really help to pack a punch against this boss and his minions. However, even if the Necromancer manages to move positions, the Hellion can attack any position anyway. Note that the contents might (and probably will) change as the game is constantly balanced. The last thing to take care of is his Six Feet Under skill.

Each skill of the Necromancer's summons one undead (up to three) in front of him. All of his skills are AoE attacks, (Area of Effect) which will either attack two, or all party members. The Necromancer is resistant to Stun, so it won't always land. How to defeat the boss Statistics of the boss The following table presents the boss's stats in his three difficulty variants (the enemy has the same name, regardless of the difficulty level). Necromancer is a ranged sorceror who can bring to 'life' the undead. There are two ways to circumvent this: either use the Hellion to Stun him, stopping him from attacking/summoning adds in the first place, or simply use an Occultist or Bounty Hunter to drag him back into position one. This will continue until the Necromancer is in position four. Whenever the Necromancer attacks, he will automatically summon an undead skeleton add that will appear in front of him.
