Hello all, I have a level 85 necro with minions. I would like to know if there are any builds that work and kill faster than at a snail pace that is not season 2 build. I currently have no Unique’s that work for my build. Any help would be muchly appreciated. Thanks
there is no pure minion build that doesnt kill faster then a snales pace. There are however a few “minion builds” aka hybrid builds that do ok, best check maxroll and places like that for those.
Uniques that supports Minions are Ring of Mendeln and Xal’s Corroded Signet. They are for Blighted Corpse Explosion Shadowblight Minion Build.
There are Blood builds that has minions but they rely much on the power of the Necro thru Overpower. It works better though when the Minions are sacrificed.
I been leveling up a necro for the first time in the last couple of weeks. I really wanted the minions to be viable, but once I got into WT3, it was obvious they were not doing much of anything in my blood surge build, so I think I am going to sacrifice them and add decrepify instead.
lol how Xal’s support minion?
LOL thats why i squelched him, toxic and clueless input every time.
You reach a point with minions where you have to start branching out and boosting other abilities’ damage instead. There aren’t any good affixes for minions outside of the ones you find early on.
The gear I ended up getting I had to swap everything around to utilize corpse explosion more. I ended up getting the malignant ring and howl from below and that’s where I saw my biggest deeps boost.
Ring of mendeln and death speakers pendant dropped for me shortly after that. Those didn’t even spike my damage as much as the other items did.
I went from hemo, blood lance, reapers, bone mages, iron golem, decrepify, and aotd to; decompose, blood nova, corpse explosion, reapers, bone mages, blood golem, aotd.
Ring of mendeln is kind of trash. You might be able to get lucky and get the new pants, but even then you’re still dependent on overpowering, which pets can’t.
The majority of my damage is from corpse explosion at this point.
But if you can get howl from below (gloves) and work in corpse explosion you should see a significant boost to your kill speed. (Grigoire, the living steel boss, has the higher drop rate for them.) I was able to swap paragon boards for the corpse consumption one too. Those gloves with the malignant ring from the boss near the tree of whispers are chefs kiss together. I don’t even have the 1 second one, I have the 1.6s one.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’intrate
