And against a Necropolis, you can take weakness to darkness and maybe a seal, as Necromancers don’t always have good mana, even with spiritual connection. Vampirism might also appear – this is good against Berserkers and Subjugation.
Regarding a Necromancer-summoner – I doubt it. At least, using a Phoenix against a Demon isn’t very effective; there’s a risk of encountering Cave Lords, and there might be several squads of them.
