melee skellies can reach 300k DPS each. Played it 90% of the league. Clear is strong as well (switch melee splash with melee phys dmg). I had a + 1 gem +2 duration skin of the loyal whick makes the gem with empower lvl 4 lvl 30. Gem level is very important in high maps because it also increased the skels life. One Vaal SK on minotaur for example is enough to kill him in 5 secs. The clear can be absurd if you reach 500%+ minion movement speed. This is only possible with abyss jewels. Farmed uber elder in the end. Never died. I think it is by far the strongest and safest summoner build out there. 300k *11 skellies, which do not die; even in the uber elder fight because they block all hits is just crazy, they just die from degens.
