I used to think that skellies were too weak as well, but the proof is in the gameplay. Maybe there was a rebalance with one of the more recent patches that changes things but I've never had a character of any class move through the map as quickly as this one (sorcs start slow, and every other class needs good equipment). Boss kills are hard (especially Dury and big D) but this build isn't really for boss kills... it's about cruising through the game safely and quickly. I'm finding with Amp that the skellies kill so fast that they don't take enough damage to die frequently at all. Besides boss kills, only in long crowded battles does it happen to multiple summons and then there's plenty of corpses around to explode and/or to create reinforcements. Into act 5 after only about 10-12 hours gameplay (untwinked solo on b.net)... incredible.

Edit:
Baal is toast after about 3 more hours... I didn't lose any skellies vs. the Ancients, a few in WSK, and for the final kill it was just my merc who did the job (the skellies died pretty quickly). I'll probably do some levelling before moving on to NM (at lvl 30 now).
