My skellies have become useless

I'm done with Act 1, was gonna do some Andy runs to lvl up, but I found I can't even kill a regular catacomb monster. I have like 6 or 7 of my skellies attacking, and it takes FOREVER to hack down one of the monsters.

They currently do 135 damage, and are level 21 skellies, level 20 SM (that's including + skills). I think I have +7 SM and + 3 or 4 RS.

When I revive monsters, they do well of course, but without revives, my necro is pretty much useless at this point.

What am I doing wrong? I mean, besides, the obvious, that I need to max RS and SM, will that be sufficient?

My skellies are surviving, they just arent doing damage! lol

In fact I dont lose a single skelly, though my Skellie Mages die easily, as I stopped lvling them up at level 6. Gonna finish that last.

Right now I want to max RS and SM, and put like 6 into Resist, as after that it's not worth the points. And I want to max CE too eventually, I got level 10 I belive now.

Anyways, what can I do to get more offensive damage out of my necro?

I guess I havn't been casting as much amp as I should, though I had gotten used to only casting amp on bosses, as my skellies could manhandle anything that got their way up to later parts of Act 1 NM.

Suggestions appreciated, thanx :)

to summarize, right now

Char Level 49

SM 20
RS 21
RSM 6
Revive 6
CE 10
all prerequisites with + 3 skills I think.

Vita about 135
Energy about 70
Strenth 75 or something
dex base

What do I need to focus on immediately to start doing damage in NM again?
