I've yet to play a true Necromancer so I'm looking for some generic MM builds to slap onto my Hero. I'm looking for builds that require no input from me.

MM builds only require two spells: Minion and BotM.

Just put two of those in any build with complimentary spells and you'll be fine.

just a question, will the hero keep minions alive, or do you have to manually make him spam BotM?

The hero will keep minons alive, they did well as MM

I only use Fiends and Blood of the Master on my MM bar. Everything else is support.

I set my Hero up as follow for MM. It works very well at keeping minions alive.

Blood of the Master - Hero only seems to use during battle.
Vampiric Horror/Shambling
Bone Fiends
Flesh Golem
Verata's Sacrifice - Hero only uses this one occasionally
Heal Area - works very well outside of battle
Blood Renewel - self heal
Res Sig - disabled since I don't want hero to do something stupid

With this build the hero can keep up large numbers of minions for a long time.

Deathly Swarm (Great for support damage)
Heal Area
Rebirth

You can also give Verata's sacrifice to another character.
If that chacacter isnt controlling any minions, it recharges instantly.
I use it on my Drunko, he hasn't much of a job anyway when the factory goes into production.

None, free and clear

Yea the AI knows how to use Nova very well. I'd definitely consider tossing in Icy Veins, too. I think they will use IV much better than most human controlled characters will.
