Thus far I would say brambke is no good. I am thinking fortitude. I have insight iron golem. I have a beast weapon but don't want to waste it on an iron golem. And from what I read it doesn't seem worth it in the long run anways. Guillaims and Fort and pride I guess

A2 NM Offensive (Might Aura)
Eth Thresher Infinity (Conviction Lower Enemy Defense and -All Res)
Eth Andy With 30FR/15IAS Jewel

This merc will hit max ias bp
Might helps skelies damage
Conviction helps skellies hit more (lower monster Def), increases mages effectiveness (lower monster Res) and increases effectiveness of CE (lower monster fire Res)

Wear beast cast amp and mad click CE, game over.

You can wear a wisp if you want skellies to have thorns/spirit of the barbs, and some light sorb.

Also, the infinity merc hits way harder and faster than the pride merc, and in the short and long run, monsters die faster with that set up. I haven’t found a set up where pride is the best, on any char.

What curses do you rely on?

Look, I am not a summon necro lover, but then your armor looks like you want your enemies to take additional damage when they attack... so then I COULD (not would) assume you use the Iron Maiden curse to make them take more damage (physical) and maybe Corpse Explosion dealing both Physical & Fire damage.

Now to reduce their defense it seems you have an infinity Iron Golem, which is great... it complements Iron Golem, Thorns and CE for the physical aspect since most monsters in hell difficulty have fire immunity.

I don't know what you are wanting to achieve with your build, or how you play the game... people use Amp... I like to use that skill, but maybe Iron Maiden is something you may want to use even @ 1 base skill point during your climb.
