on my creative world, i spawned in a lvl 4 skelly spawner and a lvl4 protection staff to get a feel if it would be any better. at low skill even 4 skellys were better than 2. but then i bump my skill to 100 and whoo boy! in combo with a fire staff nothing gets close enough to hit me! i'm a walking god drunk with POWER!!! and then i go into the mistlands and my poor skellys get stuck on a rock and i never see them again...
