I have created a Minion build for the necromancer
this build lets you stay at range while your minions do all the work
weapons: staff/sigil of battle Dagger/sigil of leeching
armor: sentinel (power,toughness,vitality)
runes: sup runes of the necromancer
accessories: sentinel/exq azurite jewels
back: magi/exq azurite jewel
Traits:
Spite: 20
#3 spiteful removal (kill a foe lose a condition)
#9 training of the master (30% damage increase for minions)
Death Magic: 20
#3 minion master (minion skills recharge 20% faster)
#10 flesh of the master (minions have 50% more health)
Blood Magic: 30
#2 bloodthirst (siphon health 50% more effective)
#7 vampiric master (minions siphon health and transfer it to you)
#11 fetid consumption (each minion removes a condition from you every 10 seconds..5 minions = 5 conditions removed every 10 seconds)
Healing/Utilities/Elite:
6 - blood fiend
7 - bone minions
8 - shadow fiend
9 - bone fiend
0 - flesh golem
overall stat results using exotic gear;
attack 2909
armor 2818
health 31832
perks;
minions tank everything keeping you at a safe distance with your staff
minions steal health for you and remove conditions
all your attacks steal some health per successful hit
note:
if you get into trouble;
swap to you dagger
#3 skill will immobilize your foe allowing you to gain some distance
#2 will siphon health and help you heal up some
you can also burst your blood fiends for extra health
i seem to use death shroud when i am overrun by a mob that gets up in my face
first i drop my marks at my location (#2-5) to damage the "too close" enemies
then i go into death shroud and hit life transfer (F4) to melt them down
swap back to dagger due to its upclose fast auto-attack gaining health from each hit
when my #2 dagger skill is ready i will siphon a huge amount of health
restoring me to a reasonable amount of health.
all the while my minions are sending me health and keeping conditions off of me
let me know what you think
(you can try this out in the Heart of the Mist to see an example of it's survivability)
