What exactly is your question? Obviously, 15/15 is better than 15/10, so I suspect you wanted to ask something else...

If you're asking 10/15 or 15/10, I would say more RS is better because it increases the number of skellies you can have at once and iirc SM's damage increases are linear while RS is not.

think hes asking if he should have 15/15 both in mastery and skeletons or he should go for less skellies with a higher mastery...

for what i've seen and learnt here if u have a limited ammount of points to invest in to both skills.... put a lot more in to skellies and less in mastery... u can keep raising them every so often and since ur a venomancer u shouldnt have mana problems

On the other hand, if he has points in Revive, then mastery isn't a bad thing since it helps the revives...

The Revives will be decent tanks even without Mastery and they will deal good damage with 10 in Mastery.

The Skellies benefit enormously from points in RS. With a 10/20 SM/RS spread the Skellies are more in number and have more damage and life than with a 15/15 SM/RS spread.

I just want to throw in that the 10 in skellies = 1 wasted point. You get 1 skelly fro every 3 points. So 15 is good or 12.

9 points = 5 skellies
12 points = 6 skellies
15 points = 7 skellies

someone correct me if I figured that wrong.

I like the revives idea, but they don't hang long enough and I hate running out of bodies. I'd go with the skellies.

go 20 skells, 10 mastery :D

at later levels raise skeleton gains a high +base damage than skeleton mastery gives

2am it was when i wrote the question, i did mean 20/10 or 15/15 i think i may go with 20skels and 10 in mastery i get +15 skills to summon from gear would the returns i get be worth it?: Also i have 1 into revive and all the golems, might as well since they all go up to decent amounts.

LAst Question, Might Merc is this the best option and if so is it agressive act2nm merc? im not 100% sure Thanks

Yes, the Skellies will be sturdy enough and the damage will be good enough for Hell.

NM Act II Offense Merc is the Merc you will want to hire.

I would max skeletons, and then put remaining points into mastery, with your +skills they would make up the difference for you, and hopefully get you close to 20 also.
