Basically I want to know which helm to use, and if there is any room for improvements. The other gear I listed on switches are for different situations. Faster Cast for rushing people (Wizspike+Spirit), Leoric's for buffing ect. Let me know if I should improve anything :D

Pretty sweet, but not sure why you would need the FCR ring.

Is this for PvP or PvM? If PvM, lets get some nagels, chance guards, and war travs on that baby to maximize your MF, as well as ptopaz on that shako.

If it's PvP... *shrug* I've never built a PvP summoner

Well, getting my second soj, having two poof in a row, I'm a bit leery.

I keep it on for when I switch my gear, plus I like the life/mana.

Skeletons basically tear up PvM, PVP is fun vs Melee with thorns ^^

Do you want to mf or just be as effective as possible?

If mf, I don't really know alot on that matter. If effectiveness, get a +3 summon circlet with 2 sockets or a +2 necro circlet with 2 sockets. I think a socket is better than some life and mana from shako.

Also, as already stated, soj instead of fcr ring. If you're afraid of one poofing, you can get a bk, since they're less likely to be duped. Maras is a no. +3 summon is better imo.

Infinity is also the best merc weapon, but it takes 2 bers. Switch, I would take cta. Skeletons should also be pre-buffed if you're up against the ubers

[MinkzOr]

I wanted to do a little testing and swapped my pride for my friends infinity.

WOW.

Mage skeletons are tearing things apart. I was once a firm believer in 1 point in mages but I think I may be remaking this necro for max mages. :D
