Necro Summoner Advice

[dkass]

Remember that we're discussing skeletal mages here, not standard skeletons. Somewhere (probably either here or at the AB) I saw a chart listing the damage boost from points in skeletal mage and mastery. From my recollection of that chart, boosting the mastery gave significantly more damage enhancement (at least after a few points in both). My guess is that for a skeletal mage build one puts points into mage until one has a few (4 to 6?) and then pours everything into mastery until its at 20 before going back to finish off the points in skeleton mage. I also seem to recall that +5 (? might even have been +4) to skeleton mastery did much more for the damage than +3 to each.
