MM question

I used to be so excited about the prospect of MMing so I created a necromancer, however I realized how painstaking it was to maintain thier health especially as the army grows, even with BoM and Veritas Sacrifice in tandem. Mainly the biggest pain in the ass was trying to get all the minions to surround me to make my spells effect maximum(heal all minions at once) since the heal spells only effect near or adjacent undead allies, I forget off the top of my head. But my main question is there a way to "summon" all your minions back to you? I was run through Thursty River by a solo necro, and she seemed to be able to make all the minions return to her to heal up which would make MMing a hell of a lot easier. Any thoughts on this?

Make sure you have 16 death magic for the longest lasting minions.

If you're having real trouble maintaining minions, go elementalist secondary, and use verata's sacrifice in conjunction with glyph of renewal, which would allow you to keep recasting veratas every 15s and have it constantly active.

About the minions moving around, if you stay in one position for too long, they will spread out in a circle around you. If you move slightly, they all cluster behind you for a few seconds before spreading out again, which is plenty of time for a BoM or veratas. Keep shifting your character around slightly and they'll always stay behind you, with most of them getting the effect from a BoM. If your minions are fighting, they won't come to you until there's no longer a target for them to kill.

Well you also got to realize that at a certain point the minions will eventually die. I just look forward to the next guys i kill so i can make my mob bigger.
