Snorelax:
Could you possibly reference a source for this? The MPQ files indicate that all hirelings still have an AR stat, and it would be quite a waste of space if that wasn't utilized in some fashion.
Crystalion:
Enchant would already grant a substantial AR bonus to your skeletons, so I don't think Blessed Aim would be necessary if you can get a Sorceress to help out. Your skeletons will gain 15 AR per level of Raise Skeleton and Skeleton Mastery. Since you know the to hit formulas, you can do a case by case comparison if needed. The new v1.10s hirelings will max out L18 Blessed Aim at merc level 75 and L20 Might at merc level 96.
Something to consider when using Teleport is not to target a monster directly, but try to land yourself just outside of that monster's attack range (holding down Alt key may help some), yet close enough that all your minions will acquire the same target and swarm it.
