[MeanWolf]

max raise skele
max skele mastery
max revive
max bone armor
point in golem, goelm mastery, summon resist, life tap, and stuff that adds to bone armor

is that right if not plz help thanks

max bone armor

I'm not saying I agree with this or not, but if you want a stronger Bone Armor, put in one point and then max Bone Wall (or get Bone Prison, though it has more pre-reqs). The synergy adds 15 points of absorbtion per level, whereas Bone Armor only adds 10 per level (and bumps up the mana cost too).

First...like Lord Nyax said...only 1 point in bone armor and max bone wall is how you would get a better bone armor results...plus you get a good wall to use as well. As for maxxing out revives...it's really not needed because with your +skills only one point needed.

Besides...in order to maintain over 20+ revives is not a easy job...and you will be popping mana potions like a junkie in order to do so. I like to have 8-10 revives for my commando/MF'r.

get some points into corpse explosion, its very good

[MeanWolf]

Man you guys rock thanks so much for the help!

questions, though if i dont max revive what should i put the points in?

should i max bone prison and wall to strenghten my bone armor?

EDIT: also how many points in corpse explosion? is life tap the best curse? and should i have any Mages?

[Evrae Altana]

is life tap the best curse?Most people use Amplify Damage. Or Decrepify for bosses.

[sequoia]

i use lifetap for uber trist mostly, but otherwise the damage from amp is key to boost your skellies and your CE

i usually put one point in CE, but i hear some people put 5, or even max it. as for maxing your bone armor/synergies, you can do it since youre a summoner (tons of extra points), but i think spending some points in the magic tree couldnt hurt (might not help either :)). if you're impartial about putting points into mages, you can make a very nice poison/skelmancer hybrid.

What is CE? Also im dont really want a hybrid but will this build work for defeating uber trist?

also is beast a good wep for summoners because the fanatism?

once again thanks for the help guys.

[Evrae Altana]

What is CE?Coprse Explosion. Take a dead monster's corpse and turn it into a bomb. Deals a percentage of that monster's life as damage to nearby creatures.
also is beast a good wep for summoners because the fanatism?Yes.

[MeanWolf]

Can you have Coprse Explosion on your left click?

[Evrae Altana]

Can you have Coprse Explosion on your left click?No you cannot.

uber trist requires you to revive some monsters with crushing blow, and with enough resists/stat points you should be able to beat uber trist. its not as easy as a smiter or frenzy barb, but its possible
