Hello. Thank you for reading my guide on the Necromancer's pet/best friend; the Bone Fiend.

You may ask, why in the world would anyone, anywhere, want to make a guide on a Bone Fiend?!?!

Well, my answer is this: I was bored one day.

So, out of my boredom I decided to make a somewhat-useful guide on my favorite Animate spell.

*Note* All calculations are done by me, so my information may conflict with Guildwiki.

So, after all that is said; let's begin the guide!

1. The Skill

[skill]Animate Bone Fiend[/skill]

The skill above desribes the action it preforms once it has been activated.

When a Bone Fiend has a been summoned, a healess, kangaroo-skelaton like creature will emerge from a corpse and will immediatley scan for the nearest enemy.

2. Priorities

Bone Fiends do have priorities on what they target.

In order, a Bone Fiend's target by priority is:

Enemy

Master

That's it. Otherwise, a Bone Fiend will randomly pick a target. I have not done much research on this, but here is my educated guess from what I've seen.

1. A Bone Fiend will target whatever enemy is closest.
2. Once that target is dead, a Bone Fiend will then target the closest target that resembles the first target.

And then the process repeats itself. However, I've seen the Bone Fiend jump targets at random times.

3. Damage

This list will be updated as I have more time.

A Level 18 Bone Fiend attacking a foe with 60 armor has an average damage of 26.83

I have not done any other studies on damage (such as what type it is, my guess is piercing, average damage on other targets, etc. However, as I am allowed more time to study this, I'll update it.)

4. Life Expectancy

As with the above, I have not done as much reseearch as I would like on this topic, but I have done a wee bit more than the above.

At level 18, a Bone Fiend will last 1 minute and 24 seconds.
At level 17, a Bone Fiend will last 1 minute and 21 seconds.

No healing/damage was done at all from any source during these tests.

If there are any subjects I am missing (besides the ones I stated) please inform me and I will try to add them as I improve this guide over time.

Kangaroo skeleton? Looks alot more like a raptor imo.
