Amplify Damage or Iron Maiden

[Aussiefighter]

well ive made a 'fishymancer' and i want to use either Amplify Damage or Iron Maiden to back up my skellies but i cant decide which one. Which would be best?

Amp Damage - It Breaks that Immune to Physical mod you start seeing on them in NM and Hell and if you don't do that the Skell's can't hurt them even if they get reflected physical damage.
The Base Skills are Amp, Skells, and CE.

Amp is way better. When you think about it monsters don't do that much damage, say you have 1k life and you can take 10 hits, that means that the monsters are only doing 100 damage, often not all physical. Lets say your skellies do 500 damage, with auras bumps up to 1k, after amp becomes 2k. So amp is definately better.

Use a merc with Bramble. That way You can have both Thorns on your skellies, and you can cast amp damage.
