Able to clear pit 100 with some resistance and farm t12 smoothly with a slightly tweaked blood wave build. I leveled with minions and instead of grinding to upgrade my blood wave I wanted to have some more minion fun. What’s a good suggestion? Warriors mages or golem? All of them? Which charm set? I’m lucky enough to have stashed good mythics like bloodless scream, blood moon breaches, death grip, naz, etc. Also have diamond mind and golden epiphany seals. I feel I got a lot to work with just not so experienced with necro. I would love to push and see what I can do but I understand where the necro is ranked but minions are fun! Also blood wave tips would be nice- my only variation is I used mages for essence regen and consuming a corpse and a barrier which was pretty good until pit 100 now I think it’s something holding me back

Which one should I pick? The first 2 I rerolled a bit and tried them out but I honestly can't tell a difference. The third one I have not touched in anyway and want opinions on what to do with it.

What's this minion build with bone storm that's in top 5 of the SSF leaderboard? I'm having trouble finding what the build is online and it has me very curious. Looks like a mage build that puts bloodless scream in the charm slot.

I'm building out a minonmancer that uses reaper warriors and shadow mages (iron golem sacrificed), army of the dead and corpse explosion. I'm currently using Sanguivor and Waking Touch charms. My rotation is mostly pull with blight>corpse explosion the area>direct skeletons>spam army of the dead.

Looking at this reaper summoner build and skeletal warrior minion build, they both use Bloodless Scream and Black Shroud charms.

My paragon boards are Frailty, Flesh Eater, Cult Leader and Wither.

I'm able to do T7 comfortably, but T8+ has a definite damage falloff. Do I want to swap to Bloodless Scream and Black Shroud to do more damage?

I'm following the reaper summoner build, with the only real change I've made being taking golem off the bar and putting in corpse explosion.

I'm just not understanding how building out darkness leads to more minionmancer damage, when there are also minion-specific items.

Almost gave up on bloodwave necro then I got this!

Seasonal boss just dropped this 3ga GF. seems a shame to let it rot but the aspect is just going to be net-negative dps when compared to basically any legendary aspect + lidless wall, right? not to mention bloodless scream if I were to go that route. I'm thinking the opportunity cost just isn't worth it :(
