I'm looking to upgrade my summoner. Currently using arm of King Leoric and I'm thinking of getting a Beast double axe. My concern is losing all of those +skills arm gives.

Anyone have any input on this?

Use both.

Raise your army with Arm of King Leoric, then switch to Beast.

At high levels, skeletons never die, so you'll have to switch only once per game.

I can understand that, it gets the benefits of both. I like using my CTA on switch and don't like carrying around excess in my inventory.

So Let's say you were forced to choose between the two. Which would it be?

Beast

Skeles never die, with our without Arm of King Leoric, and the damage/AR benefit from Beast is better.

Beast, if you can get expensive equipments. If you cannot, use Leoric.

Thank you all for your input.

Sounds like I'll be purchasing a beast today.

I read your guide, and it would work extremely well. The issue lies in the fact that I play ladder and locating some of those rare rolls isn't that easy. I also like the res and fcr using a spirit shield provides. I will still be able to obtain fanaticism with a beast axe.
