HOW for summoners: use Wisp or Oath?

Hi all,

a question for all you summoners out there. I've been building my own necro lately and i love it.

My question is: to stack multiple auras to help my skellies, i've come to the point where i need some help.... I want to use the Heart of Wolverine spirit to boost my skellies. Right now I'm using the Wisp Projector ring to cast it.... but in my experience on hell difficulty, that spirit has the lowest AI level I ever came accross in this game (yeesh that thing is stupid)... And one hit its dead.....

Now, there's the option of making the Oath runeword which got HoW charges at a higher lvl.

My questions:

- Does the higher lvl significantly increases their survivability on hell diff?
- How much does the repair charges cost with Oath? (8000 per charge on wisp right now, quite costly...)
- Does the higher lvl gives a better aura (more damage?)

- In general, is it worth making Oath (the HoW is much better there...?), or stick with the Wisp (good ring against those gloams) and keep my precious runes saving for a better 2nd weapon on switch (Beast).

Btw i'm not all too rich in playtime etc... and the wisp i got is a low one (in case people wonder)

My experience is you will notice the spirits dieing even more than you do now once you get to hell difficulty.
Eventually you will just stop casting them.

Go for the Beast runeword, your skellies will thank you.

I already am on hell difficulty... I can keep it alive but it means i must focus the whole time on the stupid thing and how i walk.

So people stop using them since its too frustrating ehh??

Passion's got charges of HoW, too.

Less costly I expect, as you can just make another when the charges run out.

You could Ort + Flawed gem it, too.

Oh, sorry, it was a flawed gem with armors and a chipped gem with weapons.

That's Ort + Chipped Gem = Fully recharged and repaired weapon
