I'm no expert at even regular D2 but my .002 cents.
I rolled a Kasha lock curiously, ran around a bit. Mobs seem to have more health, all right, hit harder. That was ok, but I found some nice Puppeteer Gloves and a Grimoire and was happy with the soft point investment figuring my skellies could tank for me nicely. Wrong.
Either the mobs are very strong or the skellies very weak, and this with 38 points in Dolls. Any sort of unique rickrolls them entirely, and even regular archer skellies in the Underground Passage killed them, to say nothing of the Misshapen which 1 shot them and my little rogue buddy at which point I made a hasty exit. Its probably just a low level and no gear thing. But it does sort of nix the 'have these dudes absorb hits for me until I get some tasty skills' that necros have to put up with. Mana's also a little steep from all the times I have to reraise them as I throw them at a wall of mobs hoping they won't heal up in the downtime.
I'll have to adjust course for some Curses sooner than I planned which makes me slightly squirmy because I'm taking away points the Dolls really, really need. So I'll probably end up going the Revive route as the monsters are infinitely stronger than them.
I'm not complaining, just kinda amused at my own overconfidence.
Also! I really really like what you did with the sockets going for armor OR shields if you want resists. That deserves a hug. I also enjoy your pluses to life so I don't have to dump every point there all the time, every level. That bothered me some in reg D2.
If you can stand my whiny feedback, Ill roll some other stuff and die with those and share my thoughts, ehehe.
