Well you're probably going to want the bloodstained boots to beat enemies to corpses. Maybe tatoos for more energy, it's up to you they have less armor though.
Tip: Calm down on the thread submissions, LOL!

It depends. If looks matter, quite a few MM's I know go out with their scars just for that reason. In fact, on one of my warriors I got rid of Gladiator's even though I enjoyed the energy gain. It made me want to start singing Y-M-C-A for some reason :-) I like the looks of the scars as well, but you should weigh that in for yourself.

On a side note: bah, don't ban the guy for an accident. Besides, I ddidn't see anything in the guidelines making it bannable (only that duplicate posts/threads would be closed and/or deleted). That's not very novice-friendly if you ban him.

That's for the people that come on later and don't realize you two are just kidding/giving him a scare :-)

Seriously though, I would go with Scars if you dont mind/like the looks. Animate skills take a good bit of energy, youll need all you can get.

people use scars all the time, but i have to ask.. why? you are sacraficing 10 armor for a slightly larger energy pool, put points in soul reaping people
there will be plenty of dying, and that includes your minions so energy will never be a problem, and the +10 armor from necrotic or tormentors will make you last longer and your teammates will enjoy the knowledge that your minions will not turn on them

I prefer Necrotic. Simply put, it's a Bad Thing when Minion Masters die. Wear the toughest armor you can.

Tattos if you need more energy if your not as good at managing it, but I would have to say that Necrotics/Fanatics would be a good alternative. (I use necrotics and have little energy issues)

Also Please do not multi post Threads cause it is a good way to get banned thanks

The description was updated a month ago, along with the descriptions for all other mods. But they still don't work.

Go into the Island of the Nameless and kill the practice dummies. With no faster cast mod items equipped, test 100 casts of a minion spell. You'll see that there's no change with the boots on or off.

At this point, the only function they serve is aesthetic and to identify the people that believe the hype.

I concur, totally. Plus, necrotic just lends itself to the whole "I raise the dead" thing.

Whereas wearing scar patterns lends itself to the whole "I think I'm on a beach in Brazil" thing... *shudder*

Well actually they have been fixed. When they updated the discription they for got to fix them, but since then they have fixed the boots.

I tested my bloodstained boots a week ago and they weren't working. I'll test them again tonight to verify it, but I'm pretty sure that they're still stuck on the "over 3 second cast time" exception that they were originally programmed with.

For the umpteenth time, Bloodstained Boots are NOT fixed yet! It's a simple test, and I don't understand people arguing that the boots work.

All three minion spells are 3 second casts. With the boots on, every minion spell should cast in 2.25 seconds.

The boots are not conditional or chance based, so you don't need to raise 100 minions. One cast should be enough to determine their status.

Yup. It's really not a good thing when I have 20 lvl 18&19 minions going and die. I wear the necrotic and never have an energy problem, just put 11 or 12 points in soul reaping.

I actually prefer scars. I do have 12 soul reaping, 12 curses (for mark of pain for quick dmg) and 16 death. That's 3 superior runes. That along with prot spirit and dark bond, I never die (unless the group sucks) so my armor level isn't a problem. When I have constant guys dying all the time like in tombs its nice to have that extra energy when you keep spamming fiend and horror. I dont think it really matters what armor u have though, it's mainly the staff or your wand/wutever. I like the 20/20/20 +5 energy staff.

I agree with most here, in that the extra AL can *REALLY* come in handy ...

One thing most are forgetting: if you're not being charged by an enemy, or waiting for a patrol to come around to a certain spot, you have to actually run in and *wand* a mob to get your little friends interested in hurting it. They are tenacious once they see something, but you have to sort of coax them along to that point

So in the event one of the enemies goes "oh, look ... an army of minions ... where's that necro? AHA!" and starts pummeling you, you can unleash your hordes and kite behind them without dying

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I prefer the scars, myself. It can be hard to get started with that minion army, and I find the more energy I have, the better off everyone is. I also like to bring along a damage spell or two. I hate feeling like I'm not contributing to killing things.
