Did you max the skill that gives the skellies half your resistances? Then you can focus on maxing your resistances, particularly as a lich with 85% max resists.

Also linking to your char could be useful.

Correct link is: http://te4.org/characters/127105/tome/2 ... b66e01ada8

You could do with having higher resistances and damage modifiers. Those get copied onto your minions.

Something is not right in that char, he is wearing Aetherwalk which gives 12% arcane resist and it does not show in the char data. I did not check all his equipment but its impossible to be at that high level without finding some sort of resist gear.

Your minions will eventually die, no matter how much resistances you give them. That character sheet seems bugged. That character has decent resistances, judging from your equipment. All advanced minions, except liches, are mediocre. Skeletons do more damage, have bone shield and resemble, and can use runes.

You can win pets-only on normal. Cast Rigor Motis/Undeath Surge, hide behind a wall, and cast arcane eye to watch the fight. Summon more pets as needed. I don't think your pets inherit your damage bonuses, since there was no difference between my summoner necromancer and darkness-focused necromancer's minions in terms of damage.

Summoned creatures inherit all you damage% modifiers.

That is useful info, HousePet, thanks. So it's useful to have a greater staff set to Star aspect as necro for the physical damage bonus, rather than a straight darkness staff.
