I've got 12 + pluss skills so I'm going to skip on putting anything more than 1 point in CE, as my summoner will be strictly for getting organ sets and torchs if i got the balls to do it.

so far I've put 1 point in all curse, and all summon skills except fire golem. I've maxed Raise skeleton and skeleton mastery and I'm working on maxing mages.
I'm hoping I can hit lvl 90+. So I assume I'll have 20+ extra points to throw somewhere. And I was curious if I max golem mastery would gumby survive tristram, or even does his slowdown actually slow down the ubers enough to be worth it.

if not what should I through it in?

also would putting a few extra points into summon resist be worth it, or will my skelly be tankable without it?

I've never stepped into trist before, but have read up on it and seen several videos of summoners doing it. So wish me luck.

p.s. What are some techniques for trading torches. Cause you cant do it in the trade window right? I'd rather not fall to a scam.

they can be traded in the trade window mate dont worry

the only way u cannot trae a torch in the trade window is if u both are trading a torch (torch swap pretty much) this way has to be the drop method but if its a 2 player game its perfectly safe cos they can only grab urs, and not grab heirs also so either way u will get 1 torch out of it

Don't max mages, they are worthless. With max skeles and Amp dmg, you should be fine. Sine none of the ubers are immune to physical, you could get away with decrepify. However, sine the ubers have massive area attack, life tap might be more sane. Yes it will take much longer, but skeletons are very weak.

Max golem mastery. Don't use gumby. The slow effect is not worth it. Instead, use and Iron Golem. Depending on what you make out of him, the damage can be nice. My favorite choice for an easy to get weapon is Immortal King's Stome Crusher. Big damage alone, and then damage to demons and undead, but the kicker is crushing blow. Smiters use crushing blow as their trump card for killing ubers, now you can too. Put 2 Amn runes in the IK maul, and voila! You have a massive tank that returns melee damage, leeches without Life Tap, does extra damage to demons (ubers are all demons) and has a hefty amount of crushing blow. Mix him with leeching skeletons, and use a rogue merc. The act 2 guys do have a great aura, but they will ALWAYs die in less than 30 seconds. Faith bow with rogue for fanatacism, and there you have it. about 12-14 skeletons, an IG, and a rogue merc, all dishing out good damage.

*Tip: use terror on minions to keep them at bay while you concentrate life tap on the bosses. You won't lose.
