I have a similar 1.09 build, now 90, but the armor and gloves are Trang-Oul's and I have never seen a Harlequin. My summoner wears a rare circlet to show off his handsome hair. The amulet is also rare.
For most of his career he used a Carin Shard, and I sincerely hope Blizzard fixes the spelling in the patch: *CAIRN*, if anyone from Blizzard is listening.
After days of consulting with Drognan he recently switched to White, made from a bone wand with +3 skeleton and +2 raise skeletal mage. I have better, but I thought this would do for testing.
His thorns merc wears ethereal Lionheart Lacquered Plate and Blackhorn's Face, and wields a Condensing Giant Thresher of the Lamprey. None of the mercenery's items are socketed, except obviously the Lacquered Plate.
Current stats: strength 84, dex 58, vitality 176, energy 208 -- with 65 stat points unallocated.
Skeleton Mastery is maxed, currently 39 but I am working on it. Bone Spirit is maxed. The most used curses are Lower Resist and Attract. There are 15 skill points unallocated.
I think it is a successful build, although he died once in hell -- in the Monastery, facing an LEB single-handed -- when he had negative lightning resistance.
Three suggestions I would make:
1.) Hire a thorns or might merc.
2.) Max Skeleton Mastery.
3.) Get a different wand.
By the way, I never feel a build is finished until all skills are maxed.
