Instructions
Minions are one of the things I love most in the necromancer profession. With only a limited selection of skills I wasn't able to create a truly unique minion mastery build, but later I hope I will come up with something.

With the current build I begin a new combat with Life Trasfer to have one enemy lose life rapidly and to give me health regeneration in case the monsters target me. Vampiric Gaze is a backup skill in case I take too much damage. When enemies die I animate them as Bone Fiends. If lots of enemies die in a short period of time I use both animation skills repidly. Verata's Sacrifice should be kept on the minion when possible. Blood of the Master is best used after a fight when the minions gaher to you, but can also be used as a mid-combat heal for grouped minions.

Being a pet maniac I like to use Charm Animal as the optional skill, although I can't resurrect my pet if it dies.
