Revision as of 04:44, 21 April 2008

Skeleton Mages are Undead.

These mages spawn with glowing hands, color-coded to the type of elemental damage they deal. Not every element spawns for each type of skeletal mage, and the different elemental mages have slightly different stats. They do not vary widely in hit points, experience, defense, or any other stats except for their resistances. Most players find poison and cold mages the most vexing, since characters tend to place less importance on those resistances, and due to the added chill time and poison drain those elements pack.

Though all four elements of each type of skeletal mages are listed in the game stats and on Blizzard's site, only a few of these actually spawn in the game.

  • All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.


Statistics

  • The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
    • Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.
    • The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.

Offense

The chill time is listed for cold mage attacks. This time is affected by player equipment that reduces or eliminates cold duration.

Defenses

  • Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
  • Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
  • Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
  • Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances

The various types of skeletal mages are generally highly resistant or immune to their own form of elemental attack. (Amusing to note that the only type of Guest Monster skeletal mage that is not immune to poison is the only one that throws it.)

  • Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
  • Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.
