Curse

The one Casey Squid · Jan 08, 2006, 04:19 PM // 16:19

Ive decided to make a Summoner that uses AOE effect curses along with his minions to do awesome damage.

I reaserched into that air ele I was gonna make and decided against it.

12 death
12 soul reaping
10? (whatever's left) curses

So for death magic im gonna use

Animate bone horror
Animate bone fiend
taste of death
Verata's sacrifice
Death nova

Now im no good at curses but for the AOE I thought maybe these three?

Mark of Pain
Enfeebling blood
shadow of fear.

All comments will be greatly appreciated as would any help to make this build better.

Thanks in advance

you pretty much need a res, first of all.

second, you need 16 in death, and a lot of SR.

mark of pain is a good idea, but you need a skill to heal your minions (blood of the master is best for non /monk MMs).

IMO, for best AoE damage go for death nova + taste of death, no need for others (have aprox 4 melee minions and just kill them off, rest should be fiends). but you got those skills covered.

The point spread was just base points of course ill have a sup rune and a hat and stuff.

Ill take out enfeebling blood for blood of the master

Spiteful spirit

mark of pain is a horrible idea, its effected by the AoE nerf and you will just end up sending some of the mob right into the middle of your softies, there is no tank uber enough to keep them bunched when the crap hits the fan
but back to the point of the thread
if you are bent on AoE, try spiteful spirit and suffering and death nova, +4(poison) and +2 (suffering) AoE degen is nice, but if you want to be the most effective MM as you can possibly be then go SS/barbs/rend enchantments, 16 death 11 soul reaping and rest in curses, i think thats what i have my MM set at, i might edit this later after i log on and see what my set up is
