Curse

just capped Order of Undeath yesterday and I find it very hard to manage my minions. They always seem to take more damage, thus dying really fast with the absence of my flesh golem taking the majority of the damage.

I make 5-6 vampiric horrors to 4-5 bone fiends btw
my skills are dark bond, botm, maso, animate vampiric horror, animate bone fiend, OoU, mystic regeneration, rez sig

DM 12 +3 +1
SR 9 or 10 +2
Earth 8

any help?
TIA

I don't know, whenever i've played OoU they seemed to die extremely fast too.

I have a feeling you might be using BoTM too little. Playing OoU correctly requires some nerves.

QFT

OoU is risk vs reward. When playing this I put masochism on and spam the hell out of OoU and BotM. There is an insane amount of hp sac but in corpse heavy areas in NM combined with GFTE it kills like nothing else. Stay well back and keep dark bond on and you should be fine providing you have a few vampiric horrors (take Hero monks or someone you know so they don't complain about all the health saccing)

That's probably it.

1 BotM every 6.1 sec will offset max degen on your minions. Start with that as your baseline and adjust upward for monster damage coming in and downwards for minion youthfulness.
