I normally play rangers, monks, and MM necros, but I'm branching out a little and need some help. The Rit/N minion bomber seems to be a good transition character. (I'm not used to purposefully killing my minions.)

What is the best way to target minions with Death Nova? or cycle through them?

let your heroes do it
it's very hard for a human player to do this

Instead of death nova, try [putrid flesh] instead. Just make sure you're not fighting humans beforehand.

OP's problem isn't damage or anything like that, it's the sheer annoyance of targeting mobile minions, who also may or may not have other Enchantments on them, like from a dumb Prot monk.

Get EOTN, and take [Putrid Bile]. Get a Necro Hero, and make THEM use Death Nova instead. Best of both worlds!

to actualy answer your question, the fastest way is thru a hero with death nova, and no you cant cycle thru them its either hero or clicking on them.

That helps a bunch.

I take it that a minion bomber is pretty useless in PvP. Lack of corpses and all

ACTUALLY, any Necro-main or -secondary gets spiked ASAP, simply because if you let them live long enough, you've got a pack of minions wrecking havoc, because of the abundance of corpses. (Also, Necros could also be Orders, which is bad news, too.) You can see Minion Bombers mostly in Alliance Battles. The only change between the PVE and the PVP builds is the Rez and occasionally the minion-kill-button: [Death Pact Signet][Signet of Creation]

@majik: I did answer his question. (You must have missed it while I was editting. It's cool.)

I have used the build before and honestly, ever since heroes came out minion bombing is best left to heroes. they are better at it, sry thats just how it is.
