NM Meph will kill your maxed (as in 23/23, pretty easy to arrange) skeletons due to the poison cloud (pick players4+ to give him some HP). It is a race between the skeletons regen and the poison. If you cast Life Tap on Meph, your damage rate will slow down. The skeletons _should_ be gaining HP whenever they hit, but what happens is that you lose more skeletons. Life Tap seems not to help skeletons, perhaps it works for melee players (I have none).
Meph is not the only monster that LT seems to be useless (for skeletons) against, if it wasn't for Lower Resist and Firewall, it would be pointless. There is a good chance that when you think LT is working for skeletons, it is merely the high regen rate.
