Best skellymancer skill setup?

[Ed from Russia]

I know - there's a post like this every few days, but I thought I'd post this to get a definitive answer. I don't know how to make a poll so I'll just count votes in the responses.

A simple question:
After you max Raise Skeleton, Skeleton Mastery and Corpse Explosion, which is the 4th skill you should max to make the most effective skellymancer?

Let's assume that you make your skellymancer mainly for MF, in areas such as WSK and The Pit.

The options:
a) Skeletal Mages
b) Dim Vision
c) Bone Armor synergies
d) Golem Mastery (to get an Iron Golem)
e) Other (please state)

Over time I have made all these variants and I have a preference, but I don't want to lead others' opinions (for now).

my vote would be for the mages, as i don't think bone armor is a good idea for this type of build (more for a bonemancer IMO)

I go max golem mastery because I make my iron golems out of cheap insights.

Why just one? You could very wisely split between a few of these. Personally though after seeing the necro pet calculater I would have to go with Mages.

e) Amp
Around 25yards radius is enough, if corpse exp has around 15yards.
Good for lazy players, no need to cast whole time new curses.

And very good if just Merc and Necro alone go hunting while soloing.

The answer is "How will you deal with a unique boss with nasty mods that has unbreakable physical immunity and who is in the process of carving up your army like Sauron at the start of the LOTR film?"

No, the objective is efficient MFing, not killing all monsters in the game. You can just tele/run past unbreakable PIs.

i've found points in Dim Vision to be points well spent.

Boy, that sure takes us summoners that only put one or just a couple points into CE out of the loop.

Where is the challenge?

A point in all curses with extra points in Amp and DV for radius. A point or more in GM and SR. The pre-reqs to revives with extra points in mages if you feel like it. Bone armor synergies, including that one point wonder Bone spear. It makes a balanced build IMO.

If you're MF'ing, that's all you need. I find that mages and an aura golem are the most fun skills to spice your MF'ing experience.
