A follow up to my N/Me build, this is my Minion Master build for farming w/ the 5 man team consisting of a Stance Tank/Bond Monk/Heal Monk/Echo SS Necro(preferably my build)

Again, this post is prompted by a farming MM I found PuG'd with that was insistent on raising Bone Minions and using Nova on them. This build is tried and tested for many a run in Grenths/Sorrows.

Profession: N/E
Name: Nate's Minion Master
Type: PvE
Category: Damage/Support

Attributes:
Blood 10 + 1 (Base + Rune)
Death 12 + 3 + 1 (Base + Sup Rune + Hat)
Soul R. 8 + 1 (Base + Rune)

Skills Set:
1. Vampiric Gaze/Blood Ritual
2. Glyph of Lesser Energy
3. Offering of Blood{Elite(blood)}
4. Taste of Death
5. Blood of the Master
6. Verata's Sacrifice
7. Animate Bone Horror
8. Animate Bone Fiend

The purpose of this build is to raise a horde of Fiends, and little else. Anticipate when something is going to die, and use the Glyph before Fiend. Only use Horror when Fiend is recharging, or you don't have enough energy and a Gnasher/Binder is about to steal a body. Of course, certain points(Oro quest part A/Dredge Section near Alkar part in Oro farm) in farming if you're not raising dead you're not doing your job, so you might be alternating. Bortaks/Collectors gear is standard issue. Fast casting is key to snatch a body before a Binder can drop a well. If Verata's is charged, cast it, if it isn't recharging you're not doing enough to keep your minions alive. During battle, your Fiends are usually bunched up...I like to hide inside them and spam Blood of the Master as needed. If you drop below 15 Energy, use OoB.

Concerns:
Completely dependent on a heal monk to keep you rolling, and that you know the path for Oro/FA farming as to not sit idle.
Credit: Me I guess, I've been using Glyph since pre-searing, 140hrs & 600,000 XP later I'm still using it.

Comments?

how can you get soul reaping to 8 just on attributes, all i can get at the moment without runes and hats is this:
Blood magic: 10
Death magic 12
soul reaping 4
and i only have 2 attribute points left?
