1. Like all mistlands weapons/armor we do not know their full power until we get the ability to upgrade the mistlands forge high enough to fully upgrade the weapons/armor.

2. Blood magic skill level really shines here and you get the double benefit of stronger shield and stronger summons. I have mine in the in the mid 60's now and if I spawn 2 skeletons, then shield them they take down a seeker in about 3 seconds. I cant wait til I get that skill to 80+.


So I agree that the point of the skeletons when starting out seems useless, but after working on the skill for a bit they get better, and I hope to have that skill as high as possible when I am able to upgrade the staff and armor when the forge upgrades come out.

FYI you can upgrade the new mistlands gear to level 4 by entering creative mode and disabling material/workbench requirements.
