This may have been suggested before, but it would be great if Dead Raiser summoned melee skeletts with its left click and ranged skeletts with middle click. It may be random for balance reasons considering it seems to greatly favor summoning melees which are the weaker of the two in most situations. If so, ranged skeletts could despawn after a certain number of attacks.

Right now with the high health and eitr costs as well as the nonscaling skelett HP, the weapon's potential is pretty limited beyond keeping greylings off you when gathering wood. Melee skeletts die fast and often can't deal damage due to being knocked back constantly, making them expensive minor distractions. All that to say, if the summon chance really is weighted towards melee as it seems to me, the majority of the time you use this staff you'll be wasting all of your eitr creating a purple fart.
