With the new Elite Minion Skill coming in Factions, I was thinking of a very simple build to play off of the fact that he leaves a corpse. Why can't we just animate him, Death Nova/Taste of Death as he goes into a group of foes. Then rinse and repeat? Seemsl ike an infinite Minion Bomber...

Shame that you can only have one Golem at a time. It might work, though.

Probably because it will take obscene amounts of energy, and probably a ridiculous cast time as well.

... at that point you will hopefully have a body to bring another one to life.

Not if I'm the necro on the opposing team you won't. Now if you're talking PvE... yeah... unless there are enemy necro monsters out there.

BTW... with a death scar and superior death run you get a level 26 Golem. My necro was suprising quite a few Assassin in PvP with that golem.

2 probs with flesh golem:
-long recharge (you're build can't work)
-everybody will use it (you won't be able to find a mm without it...)
