Sleeper, you don't need to focus anywhere near to your entire party on each enemy one by one. The baddies are tough, but not THAT tough.

I do suggest throwing everything at the nuking wizzy in the NE ASAP, because this baddy can actually cause massive damage to the entire party with his nukes.

Indeed, summons are outstandingly useful in this particular battle, to keep most of the baddies occupied. The dwarf will ignore any summons, from my experience. But all of the others can suckered into paying attention to any summons.

My most successful battles included attacking the archer with a boneguard, if you got lucky enough to summon one, since skellies are very resistant to his arrows.

Be prepared to have the party member whom the dwarf is focused on, run around the battlefield for a while. Oh, you can try to stand toe-to-toe with him, but IMHO, it's better to just play hide and seek with the dwarf, why the rest of your party and summons deal with all of the other Lost followers. I prefer to only deal with this very nasty, tough dwarf after everyone else is dead and I can safely concentrate on him.

BTW, remember to read the history on the Lost Followers that's on the amulet. it tells you what the vulnerabilities are for each lost follower, or at least what they're resistant to. It's a god send, when trying to take them down, particularly since their tanks are very resistant to certain attacks.
