Default N/R Exploding minion??? (work in progress)

Im taking this off the top of my head so dont be mad if it sucks im not at home so meh.

type: pvp

Now The whole idea of this is to have 2 Necs. One with ranger secondary who brings EOE. Now both of these Necros MUST HAVE ZERO DEATH. or as low as possible

main spell being Minions. not the long ranged ones. the mele ones. Now

2 sac necros *obvoiusly*. you know what they do, they just kill themselves .

2 rezmers. again. fast casting and rez.

NOW the obvoius heal area monk for those minions.

But the last and most probably very vital. . The death nova/ putrid explosion 16 death magic necromancer.

the strategy to this is. to bring up those low level minions, so they die fast. 16 death necros job, is to cast death nova and putrid explosion, on the minions going down. Now once one minion explodes from the nova, and eoe, so do the rest . Now im not sure if minions leave corpses, since im not at my comp i have no way to test it. but i KNOW pets leave corpses. So putrid is to blow up those pets incase anyone survives the minion bombs.... havent tested it but. The enourmas damage from these waves of explosion would be completely devastating. and considering that. you can hold up ALLOT MORE MINIONS. then just 8. this is much more effective than a normal eoe bomb.


UPDATE: all necros must have ranger secondary and bring a pet for an extra bomb

Some points:
1) Minions do not leave corpses, so no putrid on them.
2) Low lvl minions will die very quickly from the health degen they naturally have.
3) They might just kill the nearest minion from range before the rest of them get close to do any damage.
4) If you did manage to kill them, EoE would kill all of your team too.

Two things:

1) EoE does not transfer damage from minions to the players, its a same species-only ritual. (Second time in 2min that I have posted this -.-)

2) Low lvl minions will die too fast, and it is pointless to do that one, anyways a good thing is, and I used it, is bring 16death:
Minion->Death Nova->Taste of Death

Taste of death finishes of your minion, and it is a spammable skill, so you can set off three bombs in a second or two. Quite nice. Try that one, but don't go fully for minions bombs, try to make only one necro and let him use three bombs at once, it rocks as addidtional AoE damage.

k i dont think i explained the build well.... EOE, is to blow up all the minions, so the death nova will destroy the enemy, the point of this was to compete with the eoe bomb, because this is much faster, and will not kill off your team. ALSO. i mention sacs didnt i???? eoe effects them doesent it???? so they go boom too.. its a combo of minion bomb and eoe bomb. and the minions dying fast??? big shit. veratis sacrifice and heal area, whippie. they are suppose to die fast. if u read it, they die fast to set off the nova bombs.

wait... breave... and think:
if all your miniond die, causing a mass explosion, killing all the enemy team, and EoE is up...
...
...
your team will take damage from EoE and die too.
at best, you got a tie, meaning no fame for you.

Eoe affects everyone! Don't be in the blast zone. That's all. If you do use this skill, you would need to get out of there hella fast.

Yup, i mean if this somehow managed to kill the entire other team in one go, like it has to to work, then EoE will activate from the other team dying and kill you.

a better idea would be to do a regular eoe bomb team, but have a summoner + a resser that would withstand the mass suicides, summon a bunch of fiends, res and you have a big army. Then you cast death novas on the pets and do about 3 tastes of death to start a big chain killing all the minnions and ending everyone else. pointless, seeing as there are better ways to do more damage, but intertaining nevertheless.
