i need a minion master build for pvp that has been tested and is affective.

mostly for random arena.i have all the expansions except eye of the north.

also how do you make your minions stay for the next round?

some times i fight necros that start with 2 minions.

There is no effective build for MM's in pvp. MM's are useful for PvE because AI will target the minions instead of people while bodies are also very prevalent so minion armies are easy to keep up.

In PvP humans can ignore MM's as they have horrible damage, their damage is uncontrollable, and they can simply target a different enemy.

There is no way of making minions stay to the next round.

Necros that start with two minions are using Aura of the Lich and Arcane Echo (Echo'ing AotL and then using the Echo'd version for two minions). These builds are not effective and not suggested.

The only effective and at one point OP build was (the prenerf, if i remember right) Jagged bones MM in gvg hex overload team build - but its long gone and minion masters have since been rather undesired in pvp.

If you insist on playing MM in pvp then Alliance Battles is where you will be most effective. The matches are relatively long and there are many corpses to use.

Well, and minion factories back in 05.

Secondly Minions tend to get in the way of any Melee players that actually do damage

bare in mind that your average minion (every one of them except for Bone Fiends) attacks once every 3.17 seconds not that great in the grand Scheme of things

They use aura of the lich to get minions started before the fight. Too bad those necros are completely useless for reasons explained already.

Closing the thread before people feel like flaming.
