Need this many buffs,while other specs are literal trash?
Tormented Duriel :
Minion Necro 5-10 sec killtime
Blood Necro 5-10 minutes killtime (i am actually not sure if blood necro can even kill any tormented boss but judging by damage one in one minute its gonna take forever)
Bone Spear Necro 10-15 minutes killtime
Shadow Necro 5-7 minutes kill time
Guess I’m confused because I didn’t see any buffs to minion necros? I saw plenty of buffs to sacrifice stuff, meaning, no minions. But nothing with regards to actual minions. Feel free to quote the patch notes though, its possible I missed something.
Isn’t the fast kills because of the potion bug?
people just coming to weird conclusions, like all the time really.
yea, sacrifice bonuses got an immense buff
Zpets got a big buff yes, which i think is great.
Minion Necro didnt recieve any buffs at all, what patch notes are you even reading??
Necromancer, Barbarian, Druid, and Sorcerer Companions now receive 100% of the player’s attributes.
In case someone missed the very first sentence of Patch 1.4.
I never liked pet classes as a gamer or a dev. They’re notoriously hard to balance due to adding other objects to hit other than the player and personally I find them boring to play.
I leveled a Minion Necro to 100 and never actually pressed a button in combat. It was pretty funny.
I dunno that buff to doombringer for shadow DMG might be viable now?
Was a defensive aspects and 2 glyphs that got pretty substantial buffs, that will make minion necro stronger
They buffed necros that sacrifice minions. At least learn how necro works before complaining.
This kinda comment when in fact minion necros did get a massive defensive aspects buff and 2 glyphs multiplying damage, if y’all would just read the patch notes lol, y’all wouldn’t look so crazy
Wrong patch notes lol, this was pretty long ago now…
None of those things have anything to do with minions.
The only thing my minion necro uses that will be effected is the Bone Storm buff, but that is not specific to minions. Non-minion builds use bone storm too.
So you got a defensive buff? Or am I just crazy?
None of them are specific to minions and none of them are used by minion builds either. (Glyphs)
Yes, any necro that uses bone storm got a defensive buff. No buffs that are minion related though.
If anything their clearspeed got heavily nerfed, because they fixed holy bolt elixir. That was the only reason minion builds felt really strong late game. The small buffs to unused glyphs aren’t nearly gonna make up for that.
My necro is on eternal, so not sure how much Holy Bolts would have pushed it past where it is now. Which is around Pit-105, which seems fine for a slightly off meta build that doesnt use a golem and gear that is not all at 12/12 MW. A few pieces 12/12, but most 10/12 and 11/12
This would’ve been the correct question, lol.
Seen a few 
already making posts complaining about minion buffs, proving they either can’t read, or have 0 idea that other Necro builds exist.
I did read the patch notes. None of it is minion specific. It’s mostly stuff minion builds don’t use that benefits other necro builds. If it does benefit minion build it’s universal to any necro build.
