Default N/E Ice Inquiry

The most popular threads in here are about keeping up 50+ minions. whoa...

I'm wondering if it's worth the body blocking and the mayhem [and inevitably, the lag]

Here's an old build of mine in question that may need tweaking to increase damage potential [I'm in it for power damage, not 50 dudes hitting at random]

16 Death Magic
9 Soul Reaping
10 Ice Magic

Deathly Swarm
Summon Bone Minion
Death Nova
Taste of Death
Plague Touch / Res Sig
Ice Spikes
Deep Freeze
Glyph of Power {E}

GoP seems like over kill but as far as I'm concerned, it works out just fine. With Minions being so expensive, GoP makes me cast 2x as many than normal. [yay]

Ice allows a lot of utility and tactical positioning. [aka running behind your manly-man/women warriors while the enemies can't move for crap...]

Deathly Swarm helps in dropping bodies but unfortunately, it doesn't pack the damage that 16 death magic should deserve in my opinion.

If you choose to, you CAN go the longevity route by using things like Verata's Sacrifice and Blood of the Master. Problem is healing. Idea?

Aura of restoration. All ele can do actually but I've found that even with no energy storage, you die slower... [lol]

With Death Nova on yourself, you might get the last laugh. [happened in pvp many times lol]

I personally like the idea of this, and I think you should also rename this set of skills to "Cold Harded Bastard" :P

I have never played an N/Mo MM. Like you, I go for the N/E. My friend was actually watching me MM tombs over my shoulder (this friend of mine used to play but hasnt since before Factions) Im still waiting for my first coffee of the day to finish brewing so bear with me :P

Skillz:

Putrid Explosion, Rotting Flesh, BotM, Glyph of Lesser Energy, Bone Fiend, Fleshy G, Taste of Death, open.

friend- "how do you stay alive?"
"taste of death"
- "doesnt that use up your minions?"
"theres plenty of corpses"
- "i dunno man, putrid explosion seems like a waste"
"watch this..." (spams putrid on the stairs and on the Darkness, gg)


but anyways, Power to the N/E mms! This isnt anywhere as useful as the OP build for many situations, but I usually only MM in tombs unless I can help it.... which is why that rotting flesh spell is listed; it spreads from demon to demon, not just grasp to grasp.

also my advice for a pve mm- Bazzyrs Wail + Khonru's Fervor... youll still never run out of energy with only 2 pips.
