I dont want to go fishy summoner, i want to go strictly summons with curses.

What should my skill layout be?

20 skeletons
20 skeleton mastery
20 mages
4 to get to decrepify



Is it worth going for revives since I'm not going CE or hybrid?

Revives can be really good
Mages cant be good
Cold dmg from mages is not good at all

Amp > Decrepify
Max golem mastery, revives and high amp for qol

Qol???

Investing in amp just improves radius and duration, how would that help? Seems like decrepify would be better ...

As long as I have a full army, cold mages would slow monsters down which seems like a good thing.

Not saying ur wrong I just misunderstand where ur coming from (which is why I'm posting the thread also obviously)

QoL = Quality of Life (i believe)
if you dont wantto use CE (which u should), revives are good, especially cows and urdars.
cold and psn mages are the best. cold mage with clay golem slows bosses and packs really good.
dont put points into .. just 1 point .. amp and decrep
my 2 cents (first sp char was sum nec .. CE + amp .. did auber diablo + trist with revives and a cb merc)

I dont have access to Diablo/ubers and I dont want CE, I just want to grind with the summons alone, CE makes it to easy.

about CE too easy, yes i noticed.
20pints skel mage+normal
20points skel mastery
1pointamp+decr
golem of choice
spare points which ull have can go to: golem mastery .. summon resist .. and revives.
in the end, what i noticed: mercenary+revives are the game changers

Revives are def. Worth it
