I've been playing around with my MM and have noticed that the nerf on Verata's Sac has gone a little too far. Oftentimes it will do nothing at all leaving your minions happily degenerating. I *think* that I'm only seeing the lack of effect when I have more than 3 minions, though I'm not entirely sure as it looked like it worked once when I had 4. Anyone else notice this/

Wow, someone still uses VS?

Minion gain a -1 degen every 20 seconds, although the maximum degen is -10. At 220 seconds they are at -10 so vert sac keeps up with it, now at 240 they are technically at -11, but since the max is -10 the 11th point is hidden, meaning when you add the +10 from vert sac they are still at -1 degen.

Even before the nerf a max life span of a minion was 5 minutes when their degen was -20 so even at the +10 vert they still had a -10 degen.

Best way to do it now is BotM for minute by minute maintanence and vert sac for battle mending with a monk or other healing spell for you.

Yes, I realize that VS isn't as efficient as blood of the master, I was playing around with a glyph of renewal build. The issue is not the effectiveness of VS or lack thereof, it's the issue that the skill actually does nothing at all for over 3 minions. This is not for 4 minute plus minions, 10 second old minions are showing NO regeneration immediately after VS is used. The skill is bugged. It's effectiveness is another matter entirely.

I may have to pull out my necro again, I haven't used her since faction preview. Then we were moving so fast I didn't have a chance to look at the regen.
