I will try to go for that unique body armor that lets your summons ignore enemy elemental resistance.
that's for skelly mage because the projectile's element is random. You can still use punishment curse with that. BTW they found the recipe for skeleton mage jewel.
Minions die easily now unless you know what's up. Certain clusters are mandatory even in chains of command (blessed rebirth,life from death ).
I think skeleton mage also needs blessed rebirth, that's a nice 2 div jewel unless you craft. Animate weapon resummoning itself with chains is kind of a boon. But then they can also fall but usually that takes some posessed conqueror or soul eater or so, it's always an "event".
AG is not mandatory if you can't afford Kingmaker you can use mines instead, like high impact mine supporting portal (0 mana cost).
Each Mine from Supported Skills applies 2% chance to deal Double Damage to Hits against Enemies near it, up to a maximum of 100%
