Yes and no.
If you know what you're doing and are competent (in a general sense, not aiming this at yourself) then you can steal beat undeads, although it's a little more difficult.
Utilise trying to kite with CoEx for melee with VW sac or your spellstone vs casters until it's off then fear.
Definitely doable just takes more skill. The gnome racial is strong vs melee.
