Summon Resist †
- Difference from the LoD version
- None.
- Notes
- Summons aren't affected by the resist penalty of each difficulty.
- Pros
- 1 point works fine.
- Cons
- Rarely worth investing unless you need the synergy to Lower Resist and Pierce Poison and Bones.
Revive †
- Difference from the LoD version
- A level 1 skill. Improved damage and duration. Less revived monsters and initial mana cost.
- Pros
- Basically stronger than the original monsters. You can select the monster to revive. Even 1 point works fine to increase the number of meat shields.
- Cons
- Die when the duration expires. Disappear when they can't catch up with you. Poor AI.
- Notes
- In spite of the much improved stats from the LoD version, Revived monsters aren't much useful in early games.
