Skills And Attributes That Affect This Combat Art

Usage Strategies

  • Use Nether Allegiance along with Reflective Emanation and/or Rousing Command (both have mods to affect the whole party), as well as Augmenting Guidon.
  • Recommended mods: Sharp Blades, Spectral Sheild, Elite Equipment. The more skelletons there are, the more they get in eachothers way and in your way. It is better to have 2 skelletons that are spending more time hitting their targets with reinforced equipment and better armor than 4 skelletons that are either getting in eachother's way or dead because they don't have much defense.
  • If you use this buff, it is recommended to keep the level fairly high (without going over CA level without penalty) to ensure the skelletons can kill at a decent speed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Units to do damage
  • Taking damage for you
  • Skeletons will continue to draw aggro even while 'dead'

  • Too many skelletons can get in eachothers way, especially if you are using rallied souls at the same time.

  • Attracts unnecessary attention from other enemy units
  • Any enemy AoE or Reflect spell that causes damage to skeletons will also damage you even if invisible (using Shadow Veil)
