~My First Post~

Well, i was testing around with several Minion Master Builds and I ended up making this build; hopefully the necro pros and critics can give me some comments and ideas to further develop this build. Thanks!

Necro/Warrior <MADE FOR PVP AND GVG>
*Sorry if someone else had alrdy made a build similiar, but this text, set of skills, and the usage of the build is created and posted by me for the purpose of further development...*

Equipments
-Death Scar (+1 Death Magic)
-Body Scar Tatoo (+energy)
-Hand Scar Tatoo(+energy)
-Tormentor's Legging (+armor)
-Bloodstained Boots (+casting time for minions)
-Staff (halves recharge+casting for Death Magic)
-Staff Upgrades (+energy head, +enchantment wrapping)

Attributes
-16 Death Magic (Scar+Sup.Rune+12Death)
-6 Soul Reap (Sup.Rune+3Soul)
-12 Tactics

Skill Set
1.Defensive Stance - defense purposes
2.Shield's Up - defense purposes (arrows mainly)
3.Gladiator's Defense - defense purposes (weaken and block tanks)
4.Healing Signet - (Sub-Healing Source and Emergeny Use)
5.Res Signet - (REZZZ!)
6.Animate Bone Minions - (Your Bombs> main source of DAMAGE/HP/ENERGY)
7.Death Nova - (set-up for BOMBS)
8.Taste Of Death - (your trigger for your BOMBS)

HISTORY (Best for Random 4x4)

Well, this build is very similiar to most minion masters builds. However, the purpose is not to keep the minions, but to kill them fast. First of all, cast Death Nova constantly to all the party members. Death Nova has a very low cost and almost no recharge time, so it doesnt affect your energy much (this is not neccessary, but i do that all the time). Then when enemy approaches, cast one of the defensive skills according to the type of enemy you're facing.
When someone in the arena died, run to the dead body and cast Animate Bone Minions as soon as possible. Animate Bone Minions will create 2 Bone Horrors at lvl 13 when Death Magic is 16. Quickly cast Death Nova on both Bone Horrors. The Bone Horrors will automatically follow the enemy, if not attack an enemy to command the minions to follow. After the Minions have surround or gotten close to the enemy, use Taste of Death. This will deplete the Bone Horror's life to 0, gives you 400hp per horror, and 6 energy from soul reap. Also, the enemy will suffer about 102 damage and poison per horror. Of course, this might not K.O. an enemy with only 2 horrors, but it would be wise to attack those who alrdy suffered or being chased by comrades.
If the enemy died from the two explosions, use the dead enemy's corpse to create two more bone horrors using Animated Bone Minions and repeat process.

Please give any feedbacks and comments. Thanks!

Why so many stances/defensive skills? And what use do they serve? I'd say get rid of them, and the 12 points you put into tactics, and stick them into soul reaping, get monk 2ndary, then start from there, im sure you can find better skills for your bombs than stances

Oh, and theres that spell where whenever you take dmg, you minion takes 75% of tha dmg instead, thats useful

Untill something dies, this build is useless. So you have to wait till someone dies, wich is prolly gonna be one of your teammates.

More of a PvE build for giggles.
Some MM's use Death Nova and Taste of death in SF runs.
just a way of putting low HP minions to use

Suicide bombing mm build can be fun and effective but if you have no cropses your screwed. Depending on if your main thing is to suicide them or have a small army (up to 10 mebe) and have the nova too. Here's the one i mess around with....

n/mo

1-Offering of blood
2-Death Nova
3-Taste of Death
4-Veratas Sacrifice
5-Animate bone minions
6-Animate bone horror
7-Deathly Swarm or some attack,mending
8-Rez of some sort

Might be different, havent used it in a while but basically, when you start getting corpses make your little minions and send them in, when they get aggro hit nova then keep it targeted on that minion and hit taste of death, they should drop,explode,do damage, give you energy and health. the reason for vereatas is when you kill all the enemies to somewhat keep whatever minions you still have left alive for the next group. Dunno if this helps anyone or is any good to anyone but i use it sometimes and it works until there aren't corpses and you ragequit lol. As for pvp aspect, this build is horrible unless your a support necro of some sort (tainted in iway or something) and when your not doing important stuff you can summon some little minions and nova them, if there are any....hopefully not too many of your team either....but thats by a longshot in pvp unless you make it a priority.

I'd suggest swapping your legs and body armor. Put the tormentors on your body and scars on your legs. More chance of a strike hitting your body so get the armor where it counts.

Not sure why you waste a superior rune on Soul Reaving for a PvP build. That hit to your HP for such a minimal improvement doesn't really pay off since there just aren't enough deaths to make it cost effective. You're looking at around 8 extra energy during a battle in exchange for 75 hp off you. That's not great math.
