Who has the biggest single hit at gem level 20 - skeleton or zombie?

Summon Skeletons vs Raise Zombies.

Is a single skeleton hits just the same as zombie?

Or one of them hits harder?

At gem lvl 1 and lvl 20.

depends on gear and support gem

No one use unlinked skill


Also a lot of people use skeleton mage instead of skeleton melee attacker

In other words, - you don't know.

said again, no one compare this way.

if you try to "compare" the number

https://poedb.tw/us/Summon_Skeletons#SummonedSkeletonRaisedSkeletonStandard

Trust me, it would not make sense unless you have other item such as support gem. Just one thing i would know Baron was a build, and i seldom heard people play melee skeleton

So at level 68 we have:

Zombie 616
Skeleton 915

That's what I need. Thanks!
Also bear in mind that PoB and poedb show different minion damage numbers.

––per PoB Zombie deals 385-897 damage, Skeleton deals 390-911 damage (20 gem level)
per poedb Zombie deals 417–973 damage, Skeleton deals 619–1445 damage (70 monster level)

I prefer to trust PoB here.
none of those numbers hold ANY meaning for any aspect of the game or those builds...

You don't scale zombies and skeletons the same, they don't receive the same tree buffs, and gear-specific stats aren't the same.

Skellies are duration, temporary minions
Zombies are permanent minions

Base damage has zero meaning.

Guessing this is no longer accurate but someone might have a current version.


According to this the zombie hits slightly harder at lvl 1 and 20, but it's very similar. Again, 7 year old information, I would trust POB as well, over this or the wiki, but there are some things that POB does struggle with. PoeDB might be more accurate, I don't know how regularly they update things like this, but I've never found incorrect information on the site.

uh...."dps" = damage per second. That ALWAYS takes into account aps lol. That is why PoB and PoEDb have different values: PoEDB offers the raw damage number per hit, while PoB calculates actual DPS, which is a completely different stat.
