Myself and several guild members were doing some dye farming over the weekend with our necromancers. Then someone got the idea to group up and try to make [wiki]Blood of the Master[/wiki] cause as big a sacrifice as possible.

So basically, we got together in Great Temple of Balthazar and everyone got themselves (+4 heroes, due to lack of people) set up as MM with [wiki]Animate Bone Minions[/wiki] (to help speed up getting max minions).

Needless to say, we had some fun. We were able to make so many minions, that a single use of Blood of the Master was fatal.

Here are the screenshots I managed to get of me using Blood of the Master. Note that I had [wiki]Aura of the Lich[/wiki] on me to prevent myself from dying. Also note that I still sacrificed 121 health.

So you know, Photobucket pwnd your pics... I'd suggest looking into Imageshack or something else, because Photobucket sucks hard.

Well nothing that needs to be shown hasn't been. You don't need to see that much in the way of details.

Also, I use a 19" LCD screen, so images are always nice and big for me.

EDIT: Also, I wasn't exactly running my game at max quality.

what's wrong with photobucket? works fine for me with the armor dye shots. he either doesn't have everything set to max (as he said) or he has his options in photobucket set to a low maximum size file.

Max quality didnt have anything to do with the auto resizing through photobucket. But either way no more talk about this. =P

There were more than 26 minions there. Each of the other human Necromancers had 10 minions, and the other 2 heroes had 9 each. That's a grand total of 74 minions.

Iono man have u ever the pre-nerf minon master cap days? The HA build minion factory summoned taht many bone horrors.

nice to see someone trying to revive minion factory, if even in pve

MagmaRed · Jun 20, 2007, 07:36 PM // 19:36

I wish I still had a picture now. I went to the same spot to see how many minions I could make on my own. Was before the nerf of course, and I used:

[skill]Animate Bone Minions[/skill][skill]Animate Bone Horror[/skill][skill]Animate Bone Fiend[/skill][skill]Blood Of The Master[/skill][skill]Verata's Sacrifice[/skill][skill]Healing Spring[/skill][skill]Serpent's Quickness[/skill]

I guessed my minion count to be around 70-80 total.

Now, this is the only picture I have, and it's not nearly as good as the one I'd like to show, but deleted

Lol, never thought about Healing Spring. Very nice idea

And the good ol' days :'( No minion cap

Minion bomb in HA :'(

I myself used to do Orozar farming in Sorrow's Furnace before the change. I can recall having between 20 to 30 minions at many times throughout runs. At least now Blood of the Master is actually useful, and not just a minion exclusive Heal Area like it used to be.
