How do +Skills work when they drop? (Technical)

I’m aware that if I have too many skeletons, skeleton magi or revives and my skill level drops due to taking off +Skill equipment, I will immediately lose the excess skeletons, skeleton magi and revives.

What about their individual statistics? Do they the maximum life, and damage output or do these stay the same until the summon dies?

My very limited testing suggests that golems do keep their maximum health as they were summoned even if skills drop, but I don’t know any other statistics are preserved.

Minions keep the level, health, damage etc that they were summoned at. You can prebuff and summon at an extremely high level and then switch to different gear. You will lose the excess minions but the remainder will be stronger.

This is why you always re-summon when you get a skill shrine.
