Anyone have any? I’m enjoying the playstyle a lot even if it’s crap compared to others. There’s one on Maxroll but any suggestions for others?
There really isnt one. There comes a point where progressing with minions is an absolute nightmare. Once you hit t4 you really start seeing minions be useless, by level 90 its almost unplayable without mendln ring

I found this from looking up builds on youtube. It’s by someone named DryBear. Doesn’t use Mendeln. According to the video, it can reach NM88, but this was before 1.1.0 patch so I have no idea if it still can.
Just be warned that this build requires a LOT of skill juggling which can be tedious. You must be throwing out blights all the time, curse all the time, use skeleton priests all the time, and carefully time vulnerability duration to jump between golem slam and corpse tendrils. It’s also very slow since minion damage is so poor that they can’t claw their way out of a wet paper bag.
There isn’t one because the tools don’t exist to scale minion damage to appropriate levels. You can use minions as support for other builds though (e.g. for darkness to generate corpses/shadowblight procs, for bone to generate essence, etc.), and/or use mendeln to do a lucky hit build where you build self damage and use them as a vehicle for it. That said, you can go to like NM80 with minion builds, so it’s fine if you’re not trying to push to the end, but it’ll be a lot slower than other builds.
