Hey guys,

I am currently building a Necro Summoner. He can either be a very boring character or a very fun one to play with. Personally, I enjoy seeing all those minions taking down everything... I have a few questions! I am 78 level and I have maxed Skeleton Mastery and Raise Skeleton. I am left with 39 skill points to spend. Where would you suggest in putting them?

Revive is definitely not an option
Skeleton Mages are not benefited neither by the amplify nor by the damage auras so they are quite useless
Golem Mastery and Summon resist have extremely bad diminishing returns
Glay Golem is already nearly invincible so any further points will not show any difference
Corpse explosion is not that good on p8 and I hesitate to spend points
Amplify damage is quite fine with one point and the +skills

What would you suggest the hireling to be? Mostly supportive (Pride?) or a high damager?

I was thinking of making bramble to the hireling for the thorns aura. With so many minions it should cause some severe damage or is it useless on hell?

Thanks!

Now that's an army...
