A minion master needs 2 skills - [skill]Blood of the Master[/skill] and [skill]Animate Bone Fiend[/skill].

Everything else is down to personal preference. As you only have Nightfall, then I'd recommend Dervish as your 2ndary, there's some Earth Prayers skills that can help keep you healthy - and you'll need them, NF brings us [skill]Order of Undeath[/skill] , which can tear through foes with careful use.

Hmm... [skill]Dark Bond[/skill] is a good skill to bring, too. It doesn't need any investment in to get enough out of it, and can easily save your squishy ass.

There's a couple of other cute skills, too... http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Necroma...uick_reference <-- any of the skills labelled 'Core' or 'Nightfall' are available.

thats great thx .
what stat would i need
death / soul / curses
also is there a way to deal with low energy vs the high summoning cost
e.g is there a way to replenish it faster.

thx again

Max Death Magic (12 + 1 from the scar pattern +3 from a Superior rune, 16 Deatjh is the breakpoint for having a maximum 10 minions)

Take weapons and armour that give energy, armour and spell recharge/casting time bonuses over health bonuses - you'll be saccing health a lot, high health means more life to regain (sacrifices are nearly always done as a % of your max health).

With a high Soul Reaping (10+) you'll always have energy on hand to raise minions when something dies, if you still have energy problems [skill]Signet of Lost Souls[/skill] or even [skill]Reaper's Mark[/skill] can help.

dont build a minion master. build a necro and use curses or blood until you are lvl 20 and have the skills and experience to be a MM. a low-level MM that dies and sets masterless minios on the party is NOT helpful.
