I just realized that there is another solution for MMs wanting to be able to individually select minions in a cluster. It centers around the notion that the primary reason MM's want this ability is to facillitate the application of Death Nova.

Picking the one or two seriously wounded minions from a cluster is next-to-impossible, especially in the heat of battle while trying to also spam BotM. It's true that targeting individual minions could also be used for other purposes, but by far the biggest reason is Death Nova.

My suggestion is to make Death Nova into an AoE enchantment, rather that a single target enchant. This would remove the need for individual minion targeting and make DN viable in combat. Simply get close to the target ally.

If this is overpowered, you can take several routes to correct it: Lower the damage from DN, Upgrade it to Elite status, or create a new Elite AoE DN.

Thoughts?

Here's some alternatives:

Spam Nova: The ally with the lowest health that's "In the Area", who is not already enchanted with Death Nova will be enchanted.

Zombie Nova: Nearest non-enchanted controlled minion will be enchanted.

minion bombs is a decent build, unfortunately it would be just about impossible to play. If you could implement one of these, preferably the zombie nova and implement the same spell target break when trying to create a minion with no corpses. Otherwise I would like to see a window for your minions health.
