Summon Skeletons

If you give bosses a counter measure for skeletons, they will most likely kill your zombies too. And then as a summoner, what is it that you can do anyway?

Well, I don't mean to change it completely. Rather to give the boss an ability to escape the summon lock and attack you from time to time. You must admit that observing its hopeless struggles from safe distance is sorta anticlimax. They are supposed to be major obstacles and not kindly butchered.

Perhaps you remember it was a similar problem with Charge which allowed locking some bosses in constant stun state. That is already fixed. Skeletons offer 100% safety in some situations and that should not be possible.

What you can do anyway? Resummon, of course (at least skeletons). It will make the fight longer but it is a fair trade for safety offered by minions.

If attached to Added Chaos Damage support gem, do the skeletons only deal half as much chaos damage, or do they deal the entire chaos damage?

I'm just asking since chaos isn't technically an element.

Thanks! :)

As I understand, full chaos damage because chaos is not elemental, thus no penalty.

Sweet, thanks :)

Mark, can you tell us by about how much a minion's offensive stats increase each time the gem levels up later on? I have a +2 Minion Helmet and can't figure out if I should be using Zombie+Minion Life+Minion Damage+Melee Physical Damage in the helm, or if perhaps I'm better off using Zombie+Skeleton+Minion Life+Minion Damage. It's unfair that ever other style of play can see their numbers in front of them and make decisions, some guidance would be greatly appreciated so players can make an informed choice.

Can this be confirmed?

True, but it's possiblethe developers just didn't think to include "or chaos" in their description. I just meant, can anyone confirm that Added Chaos Damage **actually** delivers its full boost, as we apparently agree that it should?

if you have enough int to use added chaos to fullest, then don't see the issue as its just one thing... while in case of elemental, you can slap on all 3 elements at most times for most people with medium to little effort.
