Raise the Dead should revert back to scale with pet bonus?

I suppose I know what you mean. Having over 15 skeletons is awesome.

I still like the player scaling though. I actually use this skill on my summoner because almost all of my gear boosts my Vitality damage, so the damage of this devotion skill is almost as high as it would have been with pet bonuses. With my final endgame setup, it would be much stronger with pet bonuses, but I still think that would be unnecessary.

As it stands, the skill is already good for vitality/aether characters or hybrids, but a good chunk of vitality damage can be found on skeleton-centric summoners anyway.

I get what you’re saying, but…

I remember seeing these mini-skeles hit for around 20k damage back when they were useful iirc. Can anyone say they have a build where they even hit for 6k now? Dedicated to nothing but this proc?

I honestly think if they were pet scaled and reimplemented with their own weapon damage (so things like IEE could benefit them) they’d STILL work better for the hybrid player than the way they are implemented now as pet scaled.

This is not going to happen.

As if having the amount of pets you can already summon isn’t bad enough for pathing.

I’m using them anyway, Zantai! Pathing be damned!

EDIT: I only actually include them in the Skelemancer build just to cause headaches. They serve no practical purpose whatsoever in that build besides fighting…
