Death Nova
Plague Touch (or Infuse Condition)

It might help complement your minion build a bit more usefulness, but as I said it's just my opinion and ya should go with what you think ya will enjoy

Because you know when them enemys put the hurt on one of your minions and kill him there is nothing sweeter then revenge! lol so why not turn the minion into a walking bomb (death nova)

The problem with Death Nova is that it'll kill my minions too.

Death Nova is a buff that you put on you pet. What it does is when your pet dies it sends out a shockwave a damage to all adjacient enemies.

Wait i just read it and it says all nearby creatures.. Hmm does that mean allies too. Well crap lol

These descriptions are so confusing somtimes

Yeah Death Nova and Putrid Explosion hit friend and foe alike. Something you wanna think about before taking it along on quests with anything other than henchies, and probably not a real good idea for PvP, all depending on your team of course.

Aaa ok. Thanks for pointing that out. I really had no diea that it did that. Heh good thing to know. Really wish I got to test more, but oh well.

Game comes out this week WAAAHOOO lol.. Can we say, " jee i'm sick ma' I just can't go to school today." lmao

Infuse Condition + Minion is one of the few combo's that is good for a relic runner. This way cripple has no effect on you. If your going to try to minion in PvP, you might as well use this combo.

Has this build been tested, or is it just an idea?

what do you guys think about this skill build
im not sure how well they would really work i just read through the skills and found these that i like for this build

1. mark of pain (10,2,30) For 30 seconds, whenever target foe takes physical damage, Mark of Pain deals 10-34 shadow damage to adjacent enemies.

2. Animate Bone Fiend (25,3,5) Exploit target corpse to animate a level 1-14 Bone Fiend. Bone Fiends can attack at range.

3. Animate Bone Minions (25,3,5)Exploit target corpse to animate two level 0-10 Bone Minions.

4. blood of the master(10,1,5) Sacrifice 10% of maximum health. All adjacent undead allies are healed for 30-99.

5.Death Nova (5,2,0)For 30 seconds, if target ally dies, Death Nova deals 26-85 damage to all nearby creatures.

6.Deathly Chill(10,1,5) Target foe is struck for 5-28 cold damage (before armor). If that foe's health is above 50%, you deal an additional 5-28 shadow damage.

7.Charm Animal(10,10,0)Charm target animal. Once charmed, your animal companion will travel with you whenever you have Charm Animal equipped

8.Comfort animal(10,1,1) You heal your animal companion for 20-87 points. If your animal companion is dead, it is resurrected with 10-48% health, and all your skills are disabled for 8 seconds.

as i said i've never even had a chance to try a build like this the only necro build i've played was n/w but i think these skills would work decently i would like any advice of which to change i've also thought about adding something like "aura of the lich" or maybe "deathly swarm" or "healling springs" i dont know any advice would be greatly appreciated

Death Nova is great if you use it for solo farming, though. Put it on a bunch of your minions, and send them into a group. When one pops, it's a chain reaction.

And you'll have the mana and corpses to replenish your little army.

@420life

This looks a lot like Freyas' PVE minionator build, but less polished.

First of all, you only need 1 minion raising spell. You'll never have the opportunity to use 2 different ones.

Secondly, Death Nova and minions were born to be combined with Taste of Death. Animate Minions+Death Nova+Taste of Death is the trio of skills that keep minionators going.
The fourth skill is something that keeps your minions alive from point A to point B. While Blood of the Master looks like it would be that spell, Verata's Sacrifice blows it out of the water.

Finally, Deathly Chill is an awful spell.
Spending 10 energy to do 56 damage is terrible. Ice Spear does 46 damage for 5 energy. On top of that Deathly Chill does half damage when the enemy is below 50% health. It's bad.

If you need a Death Nuke, I hate to say it, but Deathly Swarm or Vile touch are the ways to go. Deathly Chill is not.
