1. life tap causes your golem to take absurd amounts of damage

2. mages do no damage even when you max them.
taking the time to unsummon the cold mages negates any time you may have saved from using them




I'm 99% sure you can't make bow golems
if you don't use pride, then use insight or clay golem

And don't use exile like he said, the lifetap turns off your amp curse and time spent recursing is time not spent blowing up corpses. It's pointless.


Skill wise then am i on point?

I didn't use bs/bw/bp on my last summoner, just the value point in bone armor.

I would suggest a few extra points into amp, but that's just me

I assume you put 1 point in the other summon skills that you didn't list

it's a bug with life tap. If the golem has that curse on him, he will get one shotted by baby Diablo. Woops there goes my pride aura.


so just to clarify, is this bug only happens when fighting diablo while with life tap on or applies to other monsters as well? if only diablo then might as well quickly go to town refresh and go kill him and no risk

Been a while since I played necro but seem to recall it bugs for other monsters’ damage too.

Infinity is the only merc weapon worth using on a summoner.
It decreases enemy resist and defense. Combined with skeletons being bugged to have about double the amount of ar they're supposed to, this means that your skeles pretty much have a 95% chance to hit against everything that isn't stone skin or a boss
Also, as I mentioned, -enemy resist which drastically increases your corpse explosion damage (and I guess technically your skeleton mage damage if you care about that)

I used guillame/infinity/treachery when I first made my last one because I was baaling with it but I can't remember if I had to swap out the helm to hit the ias breakpoint or not. I'll look up the breakpoints in a bit
