I have question for endgame bossfights.

You swap melee splash to ruthless. But ruthless gives bonus on the 3th hit. Do the skelettons stay allive long enough to deal the 3th blow? They take damage and constant recasting?

Vast majority of times. There is world where your skeletons get slammed by some huge telegraphed attack, then they can miss out of ruthless hit, but otherwise this isn't an issue.

There could be prolly better combo if you had item with some white sockets, could for examlpe use deathmark. But without it you need replace melee splash with red gem, and both ruthless and multistrike will suffer from same penalty (death before landing stronger hit).

I wouldn't be too worried about single target on this build really. Skeletons are very strong and uptime is great. Remember that it isn't really comparable to some inflated caster shaper dps ppl pull out of pob, because minions constantly dps, while you run around and dodge. Many self cast or melee builds must interrupt their damage to dodge stuff, and their effective dps suffers.

Question about this build : since baron is buffing all minion damage, why not use a baron-strength oriented build ? Or not worth it in points ?
