This is the spamhealing my friend IGN "Darius Hoarder" worked out

Skills

Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Bone Horror
Blood of the masters
Consume Corpse
Aura of the Lich [Elite]
Veratas gaze
Healing breeze
Res skill (your choise)

The point with this build is that with AOTL you just sacrofice 25 healt with 10 minions when u use botm adn when u have a healing breeze on that its just to keep spamming.

If u use this build in pvp (aliance battle) its just to take the enemies Flesh Golems with Veratas Gaze.

Plz try and then post coments to the build.......plz dont take this build and then make up its your own .... created by Darius Horader (ASH)

Not sure this build is exactly cutting-edge or revolutionary. Actually, I'm sure that's a very standard MM build. With no Death Nova or Dwayna's Sorrow.

Also, you're better off bringing Taste of Death for healing unless you're just trying to block corpses.

yep taste of death is the best emergency healing you can find, assuming you still have minions...better than hope you have an unexploited corpse.
you could also bring blood renewal instead of HB, the 12.5% sacrifice(with aotl on) won't hurt you much and you have a nice 130 healing (9 blood).

yes ... but if u dont have aura of the lich (which i have never seen a MM been using) it will be hard to keep alive..... but the blood reneval is a very nice improvment =)

Good idea, but its not a new build. I have seen one on this same forum like a month ago. I would have posted the link if the search ever worked here.

Nice build, but honestly Ive been using Aotl and Blood Renewal ever since MM's were supposedly nerfed.

Well, blood of the master spaming has been around for a while.

in mine, I use Soul Feast instead of Consume. 2 reasons. 1) BotM only costs 5 and recharges almost as quickly as it takes you to get 5 mana (wiht 4 pips rng regen)... 2)Consume is a teleport. You could find yourself in the middle of a horde.

Yeah, it's not revolutionary, but if it works for you... have at it.

Ok i have realised that this build is pretty comon.... yes soulfeast can be good.... but in some how i like the teleport thing... if u have a warrior hitting u... u can just teleport away from him .. useful in somesituations=)

Well...

I hate to even say this because I never see people doing it, but my necro usually spams blood of the master while dark aura is on. They're both death skills so you get good point conservancy. He's a N/W so I got a shield, and I'll just wade in with the minions using them as a wall. I'll bust out healing signet or other tactics skills if I get into trouble from all the saccing.

In any case, you get a lot of bang for your buck when blood of the master is both a damage source and a healing source for your lackeys.

Typically with this kind of strategy I'll not take fiends, only horrors / golems so that we're all in melee together. (Which is admittedly not an AOE friendly situation.)

I'm a lttle unsure about how minions may or may not benefit from tactical skills like "watch yourself" or "shields up".

Minions are VERY affected by proximity shouts. Before Golem, I used to use "Charge!" on them. What seemed like a zerg coming at the enemy soon became a running horde. It's like, you see them a little further out, then I'd activate "Charge!" and the minions would just book it to engage. Pretty sweet.

Since "Charge!" affects them (in a more visual manner) logic suggests that "Watch Yourself!" and other shouts do as well.
