should shaco give raise skeletons and golem +4 ?
these are just regular skills.
its basically inferior item for miniomancer right now
I’d wear on my Necro just for the 20% damage reduction.

You can get a better helmet and just put on the Aspect that gives you and your minions 25% DR…

No, but would be very cool to have it for the Masterys
its still pretty decent also for curse skills and dr … for a character which almost outplays any uber unique its kind of strange to wanna buff the best one … how about amu / ring / sword / 2h sword / armor.P

or he can have shako’s 20% + hardened bones’s 25% in another pieace of gear + bonus DR from higher lvl decrep due to shako’s +4 skills

I think most if not all of the uniques are useless for a summoner. My friend just solod uber Duriel at level 78 and he’s over it at this point because he doesn’t feel as though any uniques will outdo his tempered legendaries.
It’s surely a shame that one of the best and rarest items in the game is outperformed by a regular legendary

You can have as much DR you want, higher pits will still one-shot you so not really worth it
thats a problem with the pits, not with the DR

Well the person is stating they only use it for its DR, i gave a better solution. Things you mention is not mentioned by the person in question, maybe they dont even use Decreptify so yeah…
But yes i agree thats a Pit problem and not DR problem but we have come far off topic here.
if he only uses for DR
having 20%+25%+4% is better than just 25%
the things i mentioned are things to take into consideration when thinking about a shako for summonmancer
if he uses decrep or even golem isnt really relevant as the discussion is about the item shako and it’s repercussions for the summon necro
i dont think so, you were right at first
the OH mechanics really diminishes the value of the now rare DR affix and thats very relevant when talking about shako

The shako is BIS for a summoner necro.
There is no better helm.

allso DR have dimishing returns but i dont know how much 
i can push up to 60%+ dr with shield and bone storm up
and ofc we put dr aspect in amulet
i wonder if shaco`s +20 dr will make any difference with dim returns
LOL not true but keep thinking that and we see how high you go in The Pit 
Every website that has builds state that the shako is BIS for summoner necro for pit/endgame.
Not me. I don’t have one. I am navigating the pit just fine without it.
I was merely passing along what i have read.
Websites can be, and commonly are, wrong.

If you branch out from pure summoner shako is nice. I like bonespear mages so I have skills on the bar the plus skills helps.

Not true either, i just checked the top 3 build sites for the game and none of them recommend Shako.
I looked at maxroll and icyveins last night and it was there in the endgame/pit gear armory.
They have changed the minion 3 times since last tuesday though. So if it isnt there now it wouldnt surprise me.
The shako was the ONLY unique that was listed anywhere for the minion build
Edit: it is still on the maxroll site. “ * If you are lucky enough to acquire a ‍Harlequin Crest, you drop ‍Metamorphosis and change the Aspects around accordingly.
Note: There are no changes in optimal Skills, Paragon, and Gameplay between the “Leveling to 100” and the “Ubers” variants for the Minion Necromancer.”
