how crazy is fanat aura on beast?

Is it really worth trading 4-5 ists??

Im lvl 91 with my skellies doin around 610 dmg with 91 might merc that has +7 skills. Will that low lvl of fanat on the beast really help my skellies?

On a side note, this pally with lvl 25 aura did some baal runs with me. Minions were dying sooo freakin fast it was amazing.

The damage increase is not that large. It helps a bit, but the main reasons why Beast helps are the increased AR and the increased attack speed. For most Skelliemancers these two reasons are what make it worth it. That and the cool Bear look :D

I wouldn't know if what you want to trade for it is a fair price, all I can say is that it is a good item for a Skelliemancer to have.

A Merc won’t use a Skill like Werebear. The only skills the Merc can use are those inherent to them, like an Aura or Fire arrow. Besides there is also no Merc who can use Beast.

The "Reanimate As: Returned" works the same as any CtC spell. The wielder of Tomb Reaver kills something and the game checks to see if Revive is cast.

Oh ok, cus when you said that about "looking cool as a werbear" I thought u meant the merc, are there skelliemancers out there who uses beast?

I used a Beast on my Commandomancer back when I played. I can't remember if there was a significant difference when I swapped out the Beast, but I do know that my runs were obscenely quiick. When I swapped for MF gear right before killing Baal, it sometimes took far longer than normal to kill the boss.

So, I think Beast does add noticeable benefits.
