[edit] Usage
Raise Skeleton summons a skeleton warrior that will fight for you to the death. When combined with Skeleton Mastery, skeletons can become quite powerful. With casually-applied skill points, skeletons usually don't last after Act II. But with a Necromancer that specializes in Skeletons (by maxing Raise Skeleton and other associated skills), his skeletons can survive throughout normal difficulty, and with particular skill even Nightmare and Hell difficulties too.
As more points are added into Raise Skeleton, more skeletons can be summoned at a time, as well as a power increase. The appearance of Necromancer Skeletons (dubbed NecroSkeleton) does not change with successive points added to Raise Skeleton. Rather, their appearance changes with points into Skeleton Mastery. Necromancer Skeletons are white, as opposed to the yellow-tinged Skeletal enemies. Skeletons have a 5% chance to spawn with a shield and has a 3% block rate
[edit] History
Early on, Necromancers learn to control the skeletal remains of deceased creatures. Invoking this skill causes a nightmarish jumble of animated bones to rise from a fresh corpse. Animated partially through their own will and partially through the summoned spirits of ancient warriors, Necromancers often maintain a small host of these reanimated soldiers to do their bidding.
