Necromancer skeleton mages friendly fire

[Deadboss]

Just wondering if the AI for the mage summons is "as intended"? Their arcane beam constantly hits myself and my minions with no discretion, making narrow corridors a deathtrap with 2 or more skeleton mages. Is there any way I can turn the arcane beam off, or change their AI so they avoid friendly fire?

Your best option is probably to get the talent that prevents your minions from hurting you.

Oh I didn't even see that there... my bad. Gotta play it smart til lvl 12 or so then. Thanks

A tip that I read in a guide was to always teleport the skeleton mages to the front lines . This works really, really well. As soon as you summon a skeleton mage, teleport it somewhere strategically good. It will draw fire away from your other minions, it won't hit you and it will die quickly. All good things
