Btw, since I don’t have time to test all the builds yet, but currently, regarding chaos skeleton pets, there are some videos about them already against bosses with altar (credit to Duskeep):

Chaos mage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NaJKnus7RU (Grim tool in here [1.3.0.8 ] HC - Skeletal Mage Chaos Pet Cabalist)
With comparison to fire beastcaller, covenant version is … worse in every contents so far [1.3.1.0] [HC] All-Rounder Beastcaller Fire Pet Conjurer（5 Ashes Cairn World、Dungeon、Celestials、Deep SR、Crucible） - #10 by Duskdeep86. For Chaos mage, not sure if there will be optimization later, but the current gear is similar to covenant set so far and their rav killing time is not much better than covenant (possibly due to using howl of mogdrogen instead of dying god). Also, compared to beastcaller, they require more micromanaging only to get a slower rav kill time (with similar devo).
@thepowerofmediocrity For cold archer, do you run lost soul or custom? Since, idk they are too fragile to not use lost soul.
When I have time, I will try to run vit and aether to see if things are different.
Ps: Regarding to vitality skeleton ritualist, I tried to find one video in 1.3.1 and saw this one (no GD tool unfortunately) after looking around bilibili in this forum Chinese Pet Builds Review - #118 by BigMikeZ . This is the video https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aZH86hEWn/?spm_id_from=333.1387.homepage.video_card.click. It has 28 sec ravager kill and seems to spec tree of life. This seem to have similar kill time compared to fire beastcaller by Maya which has 25 seconds FireWood - Beastcaller Pet Conjurer - #113 by Maya
