Ok, I decided to do an experimental Minion Master. I am going to need alot of help here. Take into consideration that the Rit skills is also a main factor in this build.

Attribs

Death - 12+1+3
Soul Reaping - 9
Blood - ?
Restoration - ?

Skills

Animate Bone Horror
Animate Fiend
Animate Golem - {E}

I think you will be spreading your points a bit too much if you want to have ritualist skills with a MM build.

Mighty Was Vorizun comes to mind. Put only a few points into Communion and several points into Restoration. Get Soothing Memories. Combined, you get +15 armor, +20 energy (both while holding on to Vorizun's ashes) and heal yourself (to mitigate BotM) and gain a few energy back (due to holding to an item).

Please remember, when you are holding onto an item, you lose all benefits from the staff/wand & off-hand item you are carrying.

You can also cast Splinter Weapon (Channelling) on minions (recharge time of 10) and the next hit does damage to all adjacent foes.

Obviously, get a hard rez from your ritualist side.

16 Death
10 Soul Reaping
9 Restoration

Dont use Blood if your going for Restoration. Recuperation effects all of your minions, and everything else, remember that.

Er, if the Rit skills are a main factor in the build, what exactly do you have in mind?

You probably just want Recuperation at +2 so whatever that takes, 16 death, rest SR.

edited, meant recup.

I don't think I would reccomend a rit secondary for a MM. There really aren't many ways to support healing your minions like there are with a monk secondary (Heal Area). If you rely in Death Magic alone for healing minions (i.e. spamming BotM), then you will need a good self heal. Generous was Tsungrai would be good, except when you hold items, you don't get the bonus and energy from your weapon, so you can't get the fast recharge/cast or death magic +1 that you could get from something like Ghial's staff.

Yeah you're just better off bringing along a Rt who can easily give you +3 IMO.
