this is a great minion build i came accros you need this.
12+3 death magic
12+2 soul reaping
1 up until 3 doesent matter some nice attacking skills or hexes you can use
4 animate bone horror/fiend
5 death nova
6 animate bone minions
7 taste of death
8 signet of rez/capturing
first of you summon some minions/horrors etc
you cast death nova on them when you summon them.
you let them fight against a mob.
then you must use taste of death the minion horror etc whil die
but it whil explode to giving a poison condition and dealing damage.
ooh and you also get healed it works the best in areas with much mobs.
Also, it works better with bone minions then bone horrors or bone fiends, and also a ranger secodary works good to increase your minions health by 300, Fertile Season and Symbiosis. Also, a pet is a good source for bodies.
