Damage mechanics of Nether Allegiance Buff

[Suppressor 0]

I was wanting to start a shadow warrior, but I have no clue how I want to build him. I was thinking of having all three buffs... Although that also runs into having many skills governing those trees and thus, not a very strong build. This could be further dampened by me not exactly knowing how nether allegiance works!

 

I did some testing and it seemed that intelligence affected the damage of the skeletons. However the Astral Lord Lore didn't seem to be boosting the damage/critical hit oddly enough.

 

So I was thinking, it must be a spell then? So then Intelligence, Ancient Magic (lolol), Astral Lord Focus work on it, possibly even combat discipline? I laugh at Ancient magic because it hardly benefits the shadow warrior at all, and to see the shadow warrior get it and not the inquisitor, just doesn't make sense to me.

 

Being that the lore skill doesn't seem to work and clearly the mechanics aren't very transparent, I am not going near this class until I understand it better. Does anyone have any experience with the astral lord tree?

Ancient magic works great on Skeletal Fortification. Watch your ballista just 1 hit everythign is real nice. Not sure if it works on skellies too, btu I am guessing it might.

Nope skellie dmg isnt modded by ancient magic.

 

But Aumenting guidion affect them, also Reflective Enmation IF set for party & Rousing Command also help IF set for party.

 

I had a level 76 astral lord pure int build, but died as usually ( he got Dmolished )
