Why Summoner necromance guides tell me to spend 20 points in bone prison?

Summoner is really easy to maximize in terms of summoning skills. Mine has full on RS, SM, 1p on decrep, AD, IG (have some items to maximize IG during the summon process; then I invested rest into Bone tree. Max BW, BP and 1p through BS. Some on CE to increase the radius. This way I can join the war with BS. Decrep for every boss. Merc has Pride, I made IG from Hustle weapon. They rock!

TMI. I read most of the post so don't know if you got the answer as Bone prision is gg for ubber maphisto.

Fire Golem is gg for wen peard with

Thorns as it makes every boss target it and it does 4x return

Thorns number as merc only does 2x and self is only 1x return of

Thorns number.

Just looked it up and it seems they buffed the skill up from 10 to 15 in 2.4, I either missed it or forgot. If nothing else, at least investing in the synergies doesn't increase it's mana cost, which is still makes it best to max the synergies first over the armor itself

And if you want to get a little bit magic damage from

Bone Spear, then it is also wise to invest in

Bone Wall and

Bone Prison first.

you max bonewall/pris because the more hp it has, the more

Iron Maiden

Thorns damage is returned to the enemy. spam Bone ->

Iron Maiden mob -> profit.

You'd also want to max CE. It's worth it, as the skill clears the entire screen.
