Yeah, I don't get that either. Arcane echo in particular I have tested with heroes. They never use it properly. It only works if you disable it and activate it manually, which defeats the purpose of heroes for me.

i don't think they would, they mostly do it on wars,sins,ders, maybe paragons and definatly rangers (in eotn it might be a really good thing to take aiden as a henchman with these builds on ur heroes for the barrage/splinter combo)

In my experience, heroes use splinter on anybody wielding a martial weapon. I play a monk, and many times I have switched from prot staff to +60 shield+sword set to be hit up with splinter a second or two later. I then just switch back to prot staff and wand at balled up groups. It's a useful way of microing splinter if you're (like me) too lazy to open up the hero's bar and click on splinter. On the other hand though, I've also noticed times where Olias has used splinter randomly on the other heroes when they weren't wanding at the time.

From my experience they cast splinter weapon on everyone...I ran the triple nec hero's with my monk and even tho I never switched from my wand/focus to anything else they kept casting splinter weapon on me. Seems like they cast it on whomever is at the front of the pack that is about to attack a group.

Just a quick question:

What would be the ideal weapon for the MM bomber? Should I use an Adept 20/20 Staff of Enchanting or Insightful 20/20 Staff of Enchanting? Or something else?

I load up my mm with a 20% rod and 20% focus. Don't really see the need for enchanting mod since after it loads up death novas and one of them dies he usually is summoning new minions which will instantly kill the old ones (if your max limit is reached).

Yea. If you bring H/H only, the necro rit will prioritise martial weapon users then the player or minons whoever is closer to the rit.

Aegis and Prot Spirit last longer.

run the support smiter from pvx. I believe it is a pvp build but with couple mods I bet would work for you in pve. Specially around undead

This is awesome, thanks Sab!

Would you or someone care to reccomend insignias for them, I've never messed with necros.

1 other quick question (I know - noob) do you set the heros to guard or fight? -Thanks

Survivor on all of them.

Use fight only for interrupters and guard for everyone else.

Agree with Marverick. My SS & Rit healer is on survivor. Only my MM is using Minion Master insignia.

Quoting myself from another post:

Runes: Tormenter's on chest and legs, Bloodstained on hands if running corpse spells, Survivors for the rest. Sup Death/Minor Curses on headpiece, Sup Vigor, Minor Soul Reaping, Vitae for the rest.

As for equipment, I'd suggest 40/40 Curses for the SS Nec, 40% HCT/20% Enchanting Death Staff for the MM, and 40/40 Resto for the healer (though he'll be holding a pot most of the time).

I usually set all my heroes on Guard.
