Another reason is that his main form of attacks rely on having a target marked.

First off, the main boss is in the frontline of the opposing team, meaning any frontliners will have a very easy time hitting him. He's not very difficult to defeat if you play your cards right. The Swine boss resides in the Warrens dungeon. A Crusader would be good as well, since his Smite ability hits Unholy monsters very hard, and the Necromancer is an Unholy enemy. A Hellion is also considered a good character to bring, as she has a stun that will almost always stun the Necromancer.

It's recommended that when you fight him, you have characters that can pull him back to the frontline, as his attacks spawn a Bone Soldier enemy in the slot in front of him, and force him to move back a space.įor this reason, taking a Bounty Hunter, Occultist, or multiples of the aforementioned characters is advised, so that if he does get multiple skeletons, you can just pull him back to the front. This is considered the one of the more balanced of bosses, as he isn't too difficult (if you prepare yourself well enough) but isn't the easiest. The Necromancer is one of the bosses of the Ruins dungeon.
