Strategy[]
When fighting a Necromancer, you want take out the hardest hitters first such as spectres before focusing on him. He will most likely cast Servitude which will force you to attack another enemy. Make sure to have a means of removing enemy state such as a warden or a character with Cleansing Flame equipped to remove it. His stun evasion is rather low for a boss so it is possible to try to stun him. A cleric is fairly crucial here for his Holy Light as well as removing the Curse of Mortality that the necromancer may inflict on one of your character.
