lastnight i went on b.net for the first time sence 1.07 and lvled up to about 22 well when we were 15-22 we were doing tomb runs. i soloed 2 tombs then when we all went down one as a group the everyone in the game died a few times but me. i did a whole lot of just standing around and sent out a few amps but them other guys were doing tons of stuff while i just sat back with 8 skellies and 2 mages running around. what do you guys do in 8 player games?

Personally with a summoner I follow the party but I also try to go in front as much as I can to make my skelletons engage the monsters before the other players. Depending on the party you are in you may even notice people is following YOU instead of running ahead, many players apreciate the meat shields the skellies provide. At lvl 18-20 I already have a couple of points in CE, it doesn t have the best range but in tombs every time you open a door the monsters tend to pile up blocking it giving you a good oportunity to use that low lvl CE+Amp damage.
As bonus while your skellies are fighting and the other players busy killing things your summoner can dedicate to kick urns and open chests for the chance of some nice drop :)

early on, when i have low mana, I just stand there tapping my feet while everything and every1 else does their job. But, when I'm in hell, I'm super busy managing my army while amping everything and ceing and moving away from the ouch makers, casting poison nova, etc.

I always solo all the way through hell and then start multiplayer :)

It's a lot more fun than using other people to beat **** you can't and being rushed. (Besides Maggot Lair and Act 3 of course :()
