AoL makes things that cast dead. you should be able to get 4 swing in during a 3 second cast minion spell. if something is alive after that go uninstall.

So? I didn't say that Banishing Strike was the only other AoE attack. All it takes to prove a statement incorrect is to show one counterexample.

It's worth pointing out that the 'Animate' spells are only 3s in normal mode. It's unlikely that you'll be able to drop HM summoners in the same fashion.

I lol'd, and I can achieve that.
Quite proud of myself for hitting 100+ on level 30's.

so you guys are saying that when you're in an area with minion summoners, there is never an enemy minion on the field because you can kill all of the MMs before any of them can get a cast off? i find that a little hard to believe.

i realize that you can hit up to 3 targets at a time with your scythe but when you're vanquishing an area they don't all just line up for you and stand there while you're swinging at them.

I said dead things can't cast, i.e. the thing you were attacking, not the entire mob.

minions only get summoned if there are 3 creatures with summon spells, or one super high priority target and 2 with summons.

kill the first
spike the one that starts to summon
sometimes you have to fight 2 bone minions... scary

If your damage type isn't earth, cold or holy, then you are at best mediocre.
Earth is great for disabling tough melees with EDA.
Cold is used to trigger Grenth's Grasp on kiting foes/opponents.
Holy... well most people already explained why it is damn useful.

Seef II · May 16, 2008, 04:57 AM // 04:57

Aura of Holy Might = pure awesome yellow numbering. And, that converts you to holy damage. So holy gets my vote.

Tender Care · May 16, 2008, 08:16 AM // 08:16

Well...i suppose the best dmg from derv is holy dmg vs undead....

Me in quest to get to Gwen: alone with [avatar of balthazar] [eternal aura] and some attack skills......strike an undead mob lvl 11/12 with a critical, (sundering scythe, +15%^enchant, customized) had 3/4 enchant on me and used mystic sweep: result = 429 dmg o_O

no kidding
