What is the function of a Mage Slayer? To slay evil Mages.
I chose the Necromancer as a foil, as an agent of darkness due to Angeleye's background. To a Rogue who had fought her share of skeletons and other reanimated corpses in Tristram, a Necromancer's art is tasteless and part of the prloblem, as are any mages who do not serve The Light.
I like Necromancer's just fine, however, not every Necromancer on bnet is 'a good guy" is he? This fellow is a "bad guy."
If I wrote the story from the point of view of the Necro, I would have to think that Assassins like Occhidiangela are zealots whose abhorance to magic makes them myopic killers, sort of along the lines of Fundies who bomb abortion clinics.
Where ya sit determines what you see. :)
