My idea is that these numbers basically indicate the level of toughness for each class. Not saying that DrKs are never going to die against this thing but basically that this boss is NOT going to be close range friendly. The numbers indicate whether or not close range classes will survive. Obviously since warriors have the highest death toll, the boss is going to have very strong close range attacks and maybe high touch damage. If you're asking "how can a warrior die by a magic attack and a ranged character can?" then the answer is in the quote in the first place. The boss is going to have a close range "stomp" attack that attacks all those in front of it, but not far enough where the ranged classes will be affected. This adds to the level of strategy as it might have some sort of warning where all the warriors will have to be like "OH SHI-" and run out of the way. Obviously shadowers will be fine despite their lower HP+MG because they're superior with avoiding an attack.
Elemental resistance might have some sort of solution to the whole "why DrKs and bishops are excluded from the statistics" business.
