Engineer is a very fun boss. Nechronomancer should be very good at it, but I don't own it for testing.
Engineer is immune to damage while either drone is alive, but the drones have a respawn timer of about 12-13 seconds.
The enemies are not 'Attack anything that moves' types, like Nulgath. They just have big aggro ranges around their own position. You can move slightly forward and aggro one or both drones, without entering Engineer's aggro range.
This will also pull the drones to the left side of the room, so close-range classes can attack them, and you can use big AoE skills without pulling Engineer, since she will be out of your range if you stay at the left side of the screen.
If there's a calender class nuker, they can build up damage and stacks on the drones, since their nuke deals damage based on "the damage you dealt within the past 10 seconds", which includes damage against other mobs. This should let you nuke the boss straight away, or you can build up a bit more damage & use an Honor Potion if you have to.
But it's not a hopeless fight if you have no nuker.
Attack Drone can be CC'd by stuns, although Defense Drone and Engineer are immune to stun.
Classes that significantly reduce their own damage taken can use Scroll of Enrage to taunt 1 enemy, to reduce the risk of everyone else dying. At max haste, you can keep 1 enemy taunted for 75% of the time. Taunt works on every enemy, and some defensive classes also have skills that Taunt.
Everyone else can spam Scroll of Blinding Light, since it's an AoE with a very short cooldown, and can reduce every enemies' hit chance.
Scroll of Dark Grip (Legends) and Scroll of Ethereal Curse are really good for reducing a single targets' damage and haste.
And when Attack Drone's remaining HP is ~10% of Defense Drone's remaining HP, you can use Scroll of Ethereal Slumber on Attack Drone. This will stun him for 10sec, and make Attack Drone take 90% LESS damage. so hopefully, both Drones will die at the same time if your party is mindlessly AoE spamming everything. I think this is a much better idea than just letting Attack Drone die while Defense Drone has 100k+ HP left. By the time Attack Drone respawns and is near death again, Defense Drone might be countering, & Engineer will be doing more Devastator Beams if the fight goes longer.
Or your party could do more dps on Attack Drone, and then theoretically, you could Ethereal Slumber him earlier while having both Drones die at the same time. The more time Attack Drone is stunned, the less damage he's doing to the party.
