"max amp damage"? yeah, i'm a noob and even i know better. there's this new curse... decrep. i think it's called. just thought i would share that secret. definitely max skel mastery and summon skel. put a point in clay golem and decrep. used in conjunction they keep diablo and the boys from casting. use a might merc and with your plus skills and ton of minions it jacks their damage. it's funny when a druid thinks his hurricane is going to waste you and he can't get thru your army. i don't sweat revives... they just die anyways. some say mages aren't worth their salt but they can be handy to have... elemental dmg and all. i don't really have anywhere to put points but there at this point... aside from curses i'm trying to keep him pure summon. king leoric is nice for it's + various skills just don't get hit... the autocast on bonewall can screw you so prepare to esc+up+enter once in awhile. i have roughly +14 to summon skills and maybe +10 or so to the rest and i have 14 skel warriors, 12 mages, and 17 revives... like i said i don't put points in revives, they just die and arent worth much unless you get them from worldstone and then, again, there's a 3 min. expiration on em so don't get attached. make sure you have a point in amp. decrep. and lower resist... u may need to switch between them on dual immune monsters to lose one of the immunities. golem mastery i put a point or two in. i think i maxed corpse explosion so it gets max radius and clears boards fast. i, like most skelemancers i think, only put enough points in str to wear armor and i'm only wearing trang's armor. the rest i put in life. oh, don't forget a point in summon resist. skelemancers are easy to be successful with. just focus on your summons, put a single point in the skills i mentioned and let your + skills do the rest.
