sounds like fun for a good tombs group

If it worked for minions, I can only imagine the carnage. OMG the humanity

thanks! I tried asking about this in-game alot last weekend, but no one knew for sure.

--------
also-

I really want to try this, but half of my characters have been necro in some way...

Tho, paragon may be the New necro for me... theres so many different kinds of good skills... like the ritualist... there so many good things to use with it as your secondary.

Personally, Im going to look forward to Warding Paragons (e/p, p/e), and also if people start playing monks giving shout outs in addition to their heals.

It has been confirmed that "Charge!" works on minions, so I think it's safe to confirm both these.

------------------------------------------------------------

Without disparaging this build (Good theory work, BTW!) I feel it's necessary to point out 2 things. 1) "Go For the Eyes!" works off adrenaline, which would require a MM to be closer to the battle than they are generally comfortable being, and 2) These skills will be available in Nightfall, which will have Dervish monsters which will be more effective against multiple melee targets. Since you can't direct minions against several different targets, they are always balled up, and my guess is the Dervish will slice through them like butter.

Now in 12v12 or taking you N/P back to Ascalon, this will rock!

Damn. I really didn't mean to kill this thread -- I was enjoying the discussion...

I think the range of the shouts will have an effect on this build.
"Within earshot" range has not yet been finalised. Whereas BotM will heal minions regardless of position, any shouts will be modified by range. This means you may have to get closer to the action.

dark bond ftw?

Yea, lotsa Smiting is likely in Nightfall. But you can always keep a front line and a back line. Minions + Fiends always worked well for me when there were things upfront I needed blocked so that the Fiends can pump up damage from the backlines. Reminds me to point out, I miss Mark of Pain... Those were the days...

interesting concept. i especially like "Fall Back" for when moving your army in between mobs.

tho it will all look pretty wierd, shouting at undead creatures you summon and telling them to "Fall Back!" when you just killed a group of enemy >_<

Ya N/P would be cool.

However MM < Dervish with their sythes.

Retribution X · Aug 06, 2006, 05:00 PM // 17:00

This will be a cool build. I'll have to try it.
