Spiritspam or Minionmaster what would you say is most effective?

N E D M · Oct 21, 2009, 07:29 PM // 19:29

one of each is nice

each is better in diff areas ....
if you are fighting a bunch of ooze or some other thing with no corpses i would go with spirits

FengShuiDove · Oct 21, 2009, 07:34 PM // 19:34

Totally area dependent, mostly corpse dependent. Really, the best build is probably one that integrates both. If you're having to choose between the two for a hero spot or something, I've always felt good about how heroes handle Bone Minions and Death Nova.

I'm going to assume you're talking about heroes, because MMing and Spiritspamming are boring on players.

I say do both. That's what N/Rts are for

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 21, 2009, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I vote for explosive minions. ;-)

You can control aggro a little more with spirits. Minions are weak in areas with minion stealing and holy damage (not saying anything can't be done about it). Minion masters also tend to fall a little behind from the group.

Try out both if you can, but many people do indeed find it boring.

I certainly wouldn't want to fight oozes with spirits...

i love ss on my rit but heros dont do i as well as a real person bec hey dont have summon sprits. i prefer an mm to a rit hero

Bob Slydell · Oct 21, 2009, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Both are great, all you need are two players and you got a nice little pwning army.

Marzipan Marci · Oct 21, 2009, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Both has their advantages and disadvantages.

Spirits can be created without the need of a corpse. But a SpiritSpammer build reqires 4-5 Skill Slots to be effective. My Olias says that he can make a whole Minion Army with one skill.

Spirits can not be targeted by spells, wich is a bad thing. Minions can be, so all those foolish PvE Dumbs will target the minions 1st and load their annoying hexstacks on them.

Death Nova. Minions will get blessed with death nova and play kamikaze, spirits can deal low dmg. No, i don't care those mymainisarit player's oppinion. SpiritSpammer build does low damage. Well , armor-ignoreing, thats true. But Death Nova is AI too.

Minions - Spirits 3-0

Here is a link to a 3-hero team build using mm and ss for use by a single player, courtesy of Arkantos and Fenix

This build works great in most areas as you have both minions and spirits. It does require that you have two ritualist heroes.

If you don't have both ritualist heroes, you can try replacing the Rit Lord hero with a monk or the SoS with a N/Rt or a R/Rt.
