Totally area dependent, mostly corpse dependent. Really, the best build is probably one that integrates both. If you're having to choose between the two for a hero spot or something, I've always felt good about how heroes handle Bone Minions and Death Nova.

I'm going to assume you're talking about heroes, because MMing and Spiritspamming are boring on players.

I say do both. That's what N/Rts are for

You can control aggro a little more with spirits. Minions are weak in areas with minion stealing and holy damage (not saying anything can't be done about it). Minion masters also tend to fall a little behind from the group.

Try out both if you can, but many people do indeed find it boring.

I certainly wouldn't want to fight oozes with spirits...

Both are great, all you need are two players and you got a nice little pwning army.

Both has their advantages and disadvantages.

Spirits can be created without the need of a corpse. But a SpiritSpammer build reqires 4-5 Skill Slots to be effective. My Olias says that he can make a whole Minion Army with one skill.

Spirits can not be targeted by spells, wich is a bad thing. Minions can be, so all those foolish PvE Dumbs will target the minions 1st and load their annoying hexstacks on them.

Death Nova. Minions will get blessed with death nova and play kamikaze, spirits can deal low dmg. No, i don't care those mymainisarit player's oppinion. SpiritSpammer build does low damage. Well , armor-ignoreing, thats true. But Death Nova is AI too.

Minions - Spirits 3-0

Here is a link to a 3-hero team build using mm and ss for use by a single player, courtesy of Arkantos and Fenix

This build works great in most areas as you have both minions and spirits. It does require that you have two ritualist heroes.

If you don't have both ritualist heroes, you can try replacing the Rit Lord hero with a monk or the SoS with a N/Rt or a R/Rt.
