zombie armor

Hello

I'm a summoner. I'm wondering if running the aura determination which gives a % increase in armor is beneficial to zombies/skeletons or not. I've seen the patch notes that says zombies and skeletons have reduced hp and now have armor, I'm just wondering what exactly is their base armor.

Please don't say stuff like "dont make them survivable, less trigger of instability." they're friends ^_^

Thank you

Are you going to have the needed strength requirements to run Determination at higher levels of the skill? Personally I prefer Purity, which gives them elemental resists as I find that they die faster to large elemental attacks rather than large physical attacks.

Purity also has a more manageable strength requirement for me, as a witch, as there are a couple of +30 nodes scattered about the top of the skill tree and it tops off my resists as well and also adds +Max Resists will eventually get me at 79% elemental resists.

I will be running EB so yes I will be running purity as well as determination (if its worthwhile of course). Since I'm investing heavy into life, I pass over strength node so I definitely should be able to run determination late game (I'll link you my build if you're interested).

I'm just afraid that the zombies/skellys base armor is really shitty for example lets say it is 100. and i run determination which will increase it to 100(151%)=151

but if the zombies armor is like....i dont know..say 3000. Then I will definitely run determination.

Not sure the base armour for the levels have been posted for zombies, perhaps Mark can give some insight :P

I've been wondering what is more effective, summoner mara with all bm gems and 6 auras or mana regen based summoner witch.
By 6 auras i mean determination, purity, vitality, anger, wrath, grace.
