Anyways, I'm having a hard time justifying the switch off from a Defiance merc to a Might one since even in hell, my skeletons can hold their own with the Defiance aura on, but I made the switch today and will see how it goes. Corpse Explosion has got the be the best skills in this game hands down; I had 13 left over points and wasn't sure where to invest them so I decided to split them evenly into Skeletal Mage and Corpse Explosion - I guess I'll max both of these skills. I read in some other necromancer summoner guides that taking Decripify was recommended, however after murdering Baal in Nightmare without the loss of a single skeleton, I highly doubt it. I decided not to take it, or any other curses other than Amplify Damage - no other curse is necessary IMO. I think in total I have +5 Necromancer Skills with a further +3 Summoning Skills and +1 Curses; my shield has +3 Corpse Explosion and +1 Clay Golem. My resists are adequate in Nightmare where I'll stay till around level 70 or so.
I just made a Heart Of The Oak!!!!:D. Anyways, when I have my skeletons, skeletal mages, revives, and a spirit out, why can't I summon ravens? I summon them and they disappear almost immediately after summoning them :(.
EDIT - Oh, and I decided to give Hell a try. So far I'm tearing right through it without any trouble. I'm level 66 already in one day just from getting from Act 1 to Act 2. This is the fastest leveling I've done in quite awhile.
