Trying to beat the last 2 bosses before Baal, what a joke!

I've done two mage impossible games and found the gremlin not too hard. The lizard was a bit harder (easy enough with black knight; but otherwise very hard; but sitll do able). However in both games I found the last mob very difficult. Oddly pole axe seemed to have the best bang for buck on him (but I did not test all spells). However, at the end of the day I think he would be all but impossible for my mage without blacknight.

As far as I could tell magic resistance had not benefit against Baal; but physical resitance was a big bonus (in second game the only item i found were the three scale objects that give a group bonus; the ohter items such as boot did not load).
