Hey All,
Can any advise on my necro minion build lvl 100 … Seems my Attack Power & Armor is higher then where it should be? I followed Icyveins necro build - but looking at other players and they have much lower AP & Armor but also are more powerful… ive been reading AP doesnt necessarily mean powerful - but please let me know. thanks all!!
(Sadly i dont see that i can add photos)

Yeah your armor needs to be at 9320, that is the cap, anything above is unneccessary. Your heath needs to be higher, about 40k+. And yes AP doesn’t mean much as it is the combinitaion of your damage and damage multipliers. It’s not something that gives you a direct information, like “oh I need 10k more AP to defeat tormented Duriel” or something like that.

Ur overcap armor is unneccessary, if u dont play a very specific build type.
ur health is relatively low for a lv100 character…
Try increase ur health and damage reduction. If u can increase INT stats, seen ever good.
Minion atk speed and your atk speed need to equal 100% combined.
Crit chance is way low.
Intel means bupkis for minions. They aren’t skills, so int doesn’t scale them.
Why corpse explosion size?
You need + to passives for the minions you are intending to do the most damage with (mages or golem).
Thats wrong. INT is a MAIN multiplier to necromancer… Minions or not.

They are not skills in a traditional sense, but they do get bonuses from int, they have skill tags, you need them on your skill bar and use them as any active skill. Raise Skeleton, Summon Golem and Army of the Dead all have the summoning skill tag, makeing them your summoning SKILLS.
I guess I will have to go back to testing. I tested last season using ~800int and 1300int builds and saw quite literally, zero appreciable change in damage hitting the dummies. Eh, maybe I missed something.

I wouldn’t worry to much till after next week when the gear will be outdated, and you’ll have 10 more level of skill points, An you’ll need to farm for the new max gear item level, as all current gear is bring brought down to like 540. Armor cap and stats are getting adjusted. New cap for armor is 1000.
Right right. I was meaning next week…or whenever I get around to playing again. I can’t say I’m actually excited to see what is coming regarding minions.
It’s not even about whether or not they have skill tags. After all, main stat scales everything including e.g. thorns.
I’m just saying that skills usualy have tags.
Are you trying to feed more thorns into your Golem with that 29k armor? *I would think RazorPlate would help
