NA Mods, and SW vs. Dryad as Summoner

[BlindPetey 0]

1. Under what conditions is Sharp Blades worth more than an additional Skellie? Are damage mods calculated simultaneously or serially? If simultaneous, I would suspect that a fourth skellies with Rousing Command (War Song / Impulse / Leader) and Augmenting Guidon > 3 sharp skellies.

 

2. In terms of building the ultimate summoner, Dryad has more flexibility between different heads & her summon can be MUCH more effective than an NA (Malice/Elevation/Fury) - I've heard that the Scorpion is simply breathtaking, but have no experience to back it up. I suspect that SW's better party buffs (Reflect, Rousing, Guidon), multiple summons + additional Rallied mobs, and Shadow Veil will easily tip the scale in his favor, but I'm still kinda envious about the possibility of ever growing summon types.

 

3. Bonus question - did I just kill my horse with Hurled gnomes? Is it possible I did that?
