Well I'm a minion bomber..I'll explain that if u want. I use all necro skills which are:
1) Life Siphon 2) Vampiric Gaze 3) Deathly Swarm 4)Bone Minions 5)Death Nova 6)Taste of Death 7(Verata's Sacrifice or Grenths Balance(pvp) 8)Resurrect/sig
Basically..i kill something and keep my health up w/ spread out life siphons and vampiric..and then when somethin dies get two minions up, death nova them and when they are near my target explode em with taste of death.
You basically need 16 in death and the rest in soul reaping. The main skills are whichever minion spell you want to bring and the minion heal veratas sacrafice. Fill your other skill slots with whatever you want.
Here is what I usually run:
Death:16
Soul reaping:13
1. Dark Bond
2. Deathly Swarm
3. Rotting Flesh
4. Animate bone horrors
5. Animate bone fiends
6. Veratas Sacrafice
7. Taste of Death
8. Rez
basically i only summon bone fiends because they do more damage...
use matra of recall before approaching enemies 7 inspiration is enough to boost you 20 energy + soul reaping you can spam your fiends^_^ try it hehe
just death magic minions masters are not as good as mm/curses
bring MoP and SS to speed things up a bit, call which target you MoP and let those wars/rangers join in the fun
barbs is good against bosses that take a while to take down IE: war and monk bosses
