Description
Cast on the corpse of a slain monster, this raises a skeleton warrior that fights for you.
Key details
- Skeletons can work great throughout Normal Difficulty especially with points into Skeleton Mastery (or a point and +Skill Items).
- Once you hit Nightmare and Hell difficulty, usually Skeletons will die very quickly.
- You may wish to, once you hit Level 30, upgrade to Revived Monsters and switch to Revived Monsters and Skeletal Mages.
- Still, if you max Raise Skeleton, Skeleton Mastery, use an Aura from an Act II Mercenary, and have good use of Curses, you can still continue to use Skeletons in Hell difficulty.
- Skeletons, when created, have a 5% chance to spawn with a shield.
- This shield functions to allow the skeleton to block, while skeletons only have a 3% chance to block.
D2Emu Tips
- Reducing defence by 83% to 306 results in ~94% chance-to-hit, increasing their damage over time by ~30.4%.
