he gets owned
20 mages
13 skellys
28 revives
merc has conviction aura, conc aura ,prayer aura and might aura .
the skellys are weak as hell they get owned in seconds (lvl 54 mastery and skellys)
the mages do ok when i use lower resist
any golem gets owned faster than the skellys
i'm at a loss here i can't work out how to beef him up anymore than this
i have no ubers as i can't get them because the necro will get owned.
i don't want to have to start another game with a damm sorc or a barb or a psi assasin
anyone got any ideas how to power up a summoner necro.

What Charlevel do you have and in which difficulty or act do you play?
Depending on this and your equip we can try to give you hints in which way you can make your char stronger. Mostly it is said that the poison or bone skills were needed. If you manage to make 2 levels you can use a Lvl 25 Poison Nova or something like that.
Where have you set your skillpoints, it could be that you have made a pre-decision (with setting these skillpoints) to other helpful choices.

Suggestion: Weapon on switch: craft a flail to get +2 skills, put in 5 sockets, make a CtA. Total +skills=3
Shield on that side needs to give +skills as high as possible, so that you don't loose many skellies making the weapon switch. Use BC/BC/BO to boost skellie life, switch back and replace skellies that died from the switch (I wishwishwish skellies would live for 3 seconds after the loss of the +skills that keep them alive so that this switch/bc/bc/bo/switch didn't have to have "re-raise losses" after it).
I *never* use mages, they're more pain than they're worth. My opinion.
I do, however, boost Dim Vision so that I can control the battle more.
I also skill Bone Spirit or Bone Spear (or both) so that I can help take down bosses whose auras give the minions such "authority" over my minions.
I'll also boost Confusion so that the enemy can demonstrate their might and majesty on one another.
I'll also boost CE so that when the first corpse falls, I can switch curses from DV/Confusion to AD/LR and start blasting.
It is no longer easy running a viable skelliemancer, and I wish the life-nerf on the skellies would go away.

Could we please have a few reports from successful (hell-done) necro skelliemancers here?
What is your skill distribution and equipment?
What is your best "farming" areas for magical items, and where do you "just stay away"?
What gear/skills enabled you to get your first soulstone?
What is the velocity of a sparrow bearing a coconut?

What is the velocity of a sparrow bearing a coconut?
hmmm about 20 mph but it all depends on the size of the coconut
farming area would be just outside town in act1(i always get my skellys there)
as for skill distribution i can't say
because my necro sucked and had maxed all summons and was adding to poison nova
