I don't get it, mage skeletons were nerfed by 75% overall or they removed the 50% added damage from the gem and that gave a 25% damage reduction overall. because 75% nerf will just destroy this skill

just 25% less damage bro

You are wrong. They got a 20% damage nerf at level 20 (global minion nerf) and then in addition to that they took another 25% damage nerf on the skill gem itself. Thats a 55% damage nerf.

Then on top of that, they obliterated charges on minions. 3 frenzy charges alone was 15% more damage, so now its a 70% damage loss. That isn't counting the power charge critical strike chance changes, they now provide less than 1/4 of what they gave before in critical strike chance.

Then on top of that, we lost 2 gem levels from necro ascendency, and its no longer possible to get +3 to all minion gems in helm, so thats another -3 gem level (if you use a +2 all helm now).

So in fact its more like a 80%+ damage nerf easily
