Divine weapons on INT build

[SpectralShark]

So I have an INT build and skeletons are my worst nightmare. The ones in the catacombs are ok, as long as you kill the necromancer quickly enough. I'm worried about the skeletons in Nito's boss fight.

I'm using a fully upgraded Moonlight Butterfly Horn which only does magic damage. I've created a Divine spear +10 as well as a Divine Mace +3. Even though their total physical + Magic attacks add up to about the same as the Moonlight Butterfly Horn, on the skeletons it does less than half the damage.

Any hints on which weapon to use in this situation?

The silver knight spear comes with Divine damage, and has decent Base damage at 244 upgraded. No Melee/Magic split either, so it's just pure damage.
For only 3 skeletons it should work well

I usually carry a divine weapon when going through the Catacombs, since the skellies are fairly weak. While it does help in the Nito fight I wouldn't worry to much about it. Nito aoes alot which kills his skellies too. I did nito with an enchanted falcion on my INT build, well falcion and some magic and it wasn't bad at all.

Yep. Very solid weapon, nice range.

Depends on stats. If you don't want to waste much points in melee, just use what you have. Damage them with something strong, then finish off with a divine. If you need a better divine, ascend the highest AR weapon you can wield. Assuming you're 16/10, I think bastard might be your best bet.

Against Nito though, you don't have to worry much about the skeletons. As a mage, you should make extremely quick work of him.
