whatever this monster type is called, it is certainly not "Skeletal Mage". Dead Reckoning says "Skeleton Mage", old patch notes say "skeleton caster", and poedb (https://poedb.tw/us/Thunderskull, https://poedb.tw/us/Thunder_Keeper, https://poedb.tw/us/Flame_Priest) never uses the term "mage" and always says "SkeletonCaster(something)" in the metadata. i propose renaming to "Skeleton Caster" as thats what the patch notes used and what theyre called internally. theres no reason to assume that dead reckoning's term for specifically the skeletons summoned by it must also refer to the entire monster type.[[User:Bloonpauper|Bloonpauper]] ([[User talk:Bloonpauper|talk]]) 07:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

:also, the monster navbox should have Skeleton Caster as a subset of Skeleton (i.e. put in brackets), especially since "skeleton" is definitely a real type while Skeleton Caster is far more dubious.

This page is a duplicate of Skeleton Archmage. The Archmage page seems to have more complete info, but this page is probably the better name. Not sure how to handle the move while maintaining history, if that's important. --Qetuth-(talk) 00:46, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

"skeletal mage"?

whatever this monster type is called, it is certainly not "Skeletal Mage". Dead Reckoning says "Skeleton Mage", old patch notes say "skeleton caster", and poedb (https://poedb.tw/us/Thunderskull, https://poedb.tw/us/Thunder_Keeper, https://poedb.tw/us/Flame_Priest) never uses the term "mage" and always says "SkeletonCaster(something)" in the metadata. i propose renaming to "Skeleton Caster" as thats what the patch notes used and what theyre called internally. theres no reason to assume that dead reckoning's term for specifically the skeletons summoned by it must also refer to the entire monster type.Bloonpauper (talk) 07:06, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

also, the monster navbox should have Skeleton Caster as a subset of Skeleton (i.e. put in brackets), especially since "skeleton" is definitely a real type while Skeleton Caster is far more dubious.
