CTA vs Beast on switch for Fishymancer

[hackedagainanda]

I don't know which would be more beneficial, the damage is nice from beast but I also like having enough life to goof off and survive. I don't play very carefully :badteeth:

I would use Call to Arms personally. It will boost the hell out of your skeletons which with a bunch of +skills items will make them ridiculously resilient. I only play on players 8 with my skellymancer and I rarely lose skeletons, even to act bosses. Also you can always switch back to your primary weapon which should be Arm of King Leoric while still maintaining the benefits of Call to Arms.

Or you could make Beast into an iron golem and get the benefits of both

I'm just playing a high-level Fishy and I have 'Beast' on main and 'CtA' on the switch. I love it. CtA is a decent summoning weapon. You're trading 2 skill points in the skellies for a lot of life for the entire party (vs. Arm of King Leoric). On the other hand, 'Beast' helps the moron kill quite a bit (attack speed + AR), as well as helps a lot with AR of the skellies, which is pretty low in Hell.

Iron Golem I recommend 'Insight'. High level CE can be a mana hog.

Why do I feel like I am the only person that doesn't seem to have a problem with my skeletons making contact?

What about Faith instead of Beast? Gives you a better Fanaticism plus you can take some pot shots.

 

[Darkthrone]

Faith doesn't allow you to have Might aura though.

I was thinking might merc with infinity plus Necro firing with Faith.
