Gameplay Help and Discussion - question regarding summon skeleton - Forum

" Perq wrote: @Cilicis No, you can't. They are to be used on bosses, and so on, I believe. Also, you can just use the regular, and not Vaal version. That is the problem can't use them with boss not nearly enough souls. Needed the extra help at Mervil, now I went from 51% tot 63 to 8% to 63 So they are useless in Merciless, not had a full spark in all of act 1 and the skeletons only a couple of times.

actually I tried and they are end game viable, it's not less efficient than zombie. DPS / clear speed is good in a 6L with auras. Skelettons 21 / Melee Physical / Multistrike / Melee Splash / Melee Physical on Full Life / Minion Damage ( to have 2 blue link on Shav ... ) or better Empower lvl 4 zombies hit harder but slower.

I'd also add that you can summon skeletons of thin air, while you need corpses for zombies. Fighting any hard hitting/AoE boss seems a lot easier with skelies because of that. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge. https://joeduncan123.imgur.com https://joeduncan1234.imgur.com	Posted by Perq on Feb 23, 2015, 4:44:43 AM Quote this Post

Minions will detonate even with one-shot. No, they won't. Minion Instability triggers on the minions being brought to low life, but not killed. If they're brought directly from above the low-life threshold of 35% to 0 life (dead) then they just die, and don't explode. This hasn't changed in the time since that post was made.
