Entire guilds running around during mas PvP in skeleton illusion is unclassic as fuck, anyone saying otherwise never played on a Zek in the classic era.
AoN as currently used on Red is just another case of a classic item being abused which results in massively unclassic gameplay (see: Ivandyr's Hoop, Midnight Mallet, WC cap, Soulfire, Trak Teeth). In this case, the lesser evil is making a minor change to the item itself (making it no drop is probably the best option) rather than allowing a "classic" item to be abused in a manner that makes the gameplay experience wildly unclassic.
AoN should be made no drop and given a 2 second cast time.
Armies of skeletons running around is fucking stupid, period. It just turns mass PvP into an arms race, which requires guilds to abuse AoNs to compete. Much better to simply even the playing field by strictly limiting AoNs to at most a few people on each side. The PvP then becomes much more classic, and neither side has to abuse an unclassic mechanic in order to obtain an advantage.
