User:Dazra/builds/necro/N/Any General Minion Master

Equipment

 * Armor with Minion Master Insignias works the best.
 * NO health+
 * One Piece of Armor with Bloodstained Insignias
 * Most minion Masters prefer Death Staves or Wand/Focus combos with HCT Death Spells.

Usage

 * Minion Masters Should stay towards the back of the fight before they have minions.
 * After the MM Has Some minions, they should stay in the midline to be in range of corpses when they become available.
 * Never let yourself die with minions. Kill them off with Taste of Death, or have Dark bond redirect your damage to them.
 * The MM should heal themselves though a self heal they bring.
 * Use blood of the master to keep your minions alive, but be careful when your under fire or there are multiple MMs in the party.

Counters

 * Scourge Healing Placed on Minions can increase the damage you take per BoTM.
 * Spam DIsabling SKills(you are spamming BoTM After all.)
