| Strategy: |
With a weapon skill of 75, a Knight can kill a demon skeleton with a Two-handed weapon and 0-2 Strong or Great Health Potions. If a Knight is using a one-handed weapon, he/she can kill a Demon Skeleton on level 30 and skills 65/65 quite easily. Just bring a few Health Potions for safety reasons.
A Paladin could hunt these with a distance level of 60. Demon Skeletons are slow, so lower skills wouldn't be a safety concern; you'd merely waste too many bolts for the loot they give. To reduce the waste, you can use Enchanted Spear, because it has a stronger attack and is hard to break. The Divine Missile spell works great against Demon Skeletons. Have an Ultimate Healing spell (or rune) ready to use if they actually touch you.
A Druid or Sorcerer should either use Heavy Magic Missiles or Energy strike, perhaps combined with an appropriate Wand or Rod. The Invisible spell is also useful and can save your life, since they can not see invisible creatures.
A Druid of level 35 or more can get much experience killing Demon skeletons with Hailstorm Rod while beeing Invisible. Sorcerers can do the same thing but with a Wand of Cosmic Energy; you'll use more time to kill one.
