I just want to keep minions alive...
I've heard someone said minion has negative 10 health pip.
How much is the exact health regeneration of Necro's Minion?
Verata's Sacrifice will heal minions or just stop hp degene?

From my own experiences;

Bone Horrors (the ones necro's start with) have the longest lasting health. For 1 per corpse at 15 energy they are the the strongest aganist taking damage, deal average damage, and mainly just stay alive long.

Bone Minions (same as horrors but they are lower in overall level) have the lowest health total. For 2 per corpse at 25 energy, you are getting 2 for basically the price of 2 Horrors, minus 5 energy. These are good for low level hunting since you can just pump them out en masse. They die, easy. Their HP is already low, and their damage is real low but stack up 10+ of them and they can add up.

Bone Minions (different than the aboves) have the strongest attack. For 1 per corpse at 25 energy, they shoot ranged attacks (so no need to run up to their target all the time), and do the most damage compared to the Horrors or Minions. They have average hit points, less than a Horror, more than a Minion, and are probably your end-game summons.

Now as for the degeneration, not sure. I may be wrong, but personally I coulda sworn Bone Minions (the 2 for one corpse ones) lose health faster. Now that could be because they've got the lowest health, but they just seem to degenerate faster.

Get Veratas Sacrifice, and Blood of the Master. With maxed Death Magic, your Sacrifice will last around 19-20 seconds and gain them +10 health regeneration. Which on a Bone Fiend, will HEAL them, keeping them alive. If your army needs a quick boost, get close to them and hit'em with Blood of the Master, for slightly less sacrifice than Veratas, you'll hit them for an easy +105 health instant heal. BotM recharges fairly quick, but can eat up life. I recommend countering this with something to steal life from a foe.

hope this helps
