I currently use the following skills:

Animate Bone Fiend
Animate Bone Minions
Blood of the Master
Verata's Sacrifice
Heal Area
Random
Deathly Swarm
Resurrect

The 2 animate spells speak for themselfs

Blood of the Master to heal your minions

Heal Area to heal yourself and your minions, combined with blood of the master you can heal up minions real quick.

Verata's Sacrifice to give you minions health regen, so it's easier to keep them healed up and they start degening later so you can hold them longer.

Resurrect / Res signet / Rebirth for ressing obviously.

Deathly swarm to be able to do some damage, the bodies don't appear out of no where.

Random can be something like Aura of the Lich, Verata's Aura or Taste of Death.

That's how I currently run it, hope it helps / gives you some ideas to work off.




Will make a nicer sig when I think of something ^^

RE: Looking for a minion master guide 

He replied in a PM, I pm'd back, but tought I also post here because it might help someone else too on a few ideas to set there MM up.

For armor, droks tattoo armor for more energy (currently I use Tormentors tho, for the looks and no real energy problems, so it comes down to preference alot).

Weapon you have several options, currently I use:
Bone Staff
Energy +10
Cold 11-22 (req. 9 death magic)
Fast Cast Death (20%)
Recharge Death (20%)

It's from a collector, Luven Underwood in crystal desert, Diviner's Ascent just ouside of Elona Reach. With +30health and +5 energy mods it's the same as the green weapon Kole's Torment or with +7 armor instead of +30 health the same as a Bortak's Bone Staff (also green).

Ofcourse the head tattoo for deathmagic, with a sup death magic rune.

Then a sup rune of vigor and a rune of soul reaping.

The sup runes might not be obtainable if you don't have some plat to spare, but that's no big deal and can come later when you have enough ofcourse.

RE: Looking for a minion master guide 

I use pretty much the build stated here already

as for weapons I use the collector death wand and focus. it gives me a total of 40% chance halfspeed casting, and 20% double recharge :) + it gives more energy than the bone staff. I have used both, and found I like this combination better :) just an idea.

Dont forget bloodstained boots. They increase cast time on Corpse spells.

RE: Looking for a minion master guide 

i wrote an MM guide about a week ago, but due to some difficulties, it has not appeared quite yet, soon though ;)




All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

But you can not upgrade them (atleast as far as I know), so you miss the +30 health and / or +5 energy and I think with the +5 energy upgrade it gives more energy in totall.

But yes, as I said, something come down to preference / availability and this is more a general guideline, which people can alter more to there liking themselfs :)

RE: Looking for a minion master guide 

I use Arcane Echo, so i make my second profession Mesmer, to Echo my V. Sacrifice. It works pretty nice. If you do a heal area,blood of master,V.Sac, leaves your minions with -1 hp regen for every healing skill you put on them.

And if you want to find a +15 -1 energy off hand and a +27 -1 energy primary hand item to boost you energy up, some even give +1 Death Magic, 20/20 etc., you dont need regen if you are doing good soul reaping. You can keep a staff just for secondary spot if you want to regen your energy.

I agree, but I usually MM in SF, there is a tank already holding all the aggro, I dont have to worry to much about hp boosts or energy, with Essence Bond on the tank, I have plenty energy all the time :D lol. More important to cast fast
