Having trouble with MM

i have a rather strange MM build but heh it works. i think its somewhere along the lines of this:
Skills:
Aura of the Lich(elite)
Horror
Fiends
BotM
Ver's sac
heal area
some res skill
and 1 more but i forgot

Attributes:
Death: 16 (12+4)
Soul: 10 (8+2)
healing: everything else
i have no problem making an army with this build and my energy is normally kept pretty high
just level up some and you should have no problem with a mm build. Why do you need BotM and Heal Area? Get rid of heal area for healing breeze or taste for blood, something for self healing.

my MM build is:
Animate Bone Fiend
Blood Of The Master
Verata's Sacrifice
Rotting Flesh
Vile Touch
Virulence
Heal Area
Rebirth/Restore Life/Resurrect

I use HEAL AREA because when the fiends are finished with battling, they usually crowd around me, hence i can use BotM and Heal Area at the same time. And i like to equip some spells to assist in the attacks
Rotting Flesh + Virulence = enemy slowly dies

Well, thats my MM build, and it has been very successful for me. Why are you setting up Virulence with Rotting Flesh? It costs 15 and takes 3 seconds to cast. Plus, the diseased gets replaced immediately by Virulence. Why not just use Enfeeble even at 0-3 curses? You're not going after a long duration, just long enough to set up Virulence. Enfeeble is cheaper and quicker.

Well i dont use it quite often, as i am a MM and my primary objective is to make and maintain fiends. I just have ROTTING FLESH and VIRULENCE there as back-up health-draining spells, just in case, ya know. I mainly farm inside Sorrow's Furnace and that setup has been successful for me. Of course everyone has their own build which is successful to them. Oh yes, and it also helps to have some damage spells incase the SS/SV Necro quits while inside SF.
I often use the ROTTING FLESH + VIRULENCE combo while inside SF, against those Summit Dark Binders, god dont we MM's hate them when they use their WELL OF SUFFERING? Heheh. Usually, the Binders stand outside the AoE for SS so i just use my combo on them just to smack 'em down.

Hello!

My MM is currently level 13 right now with the following skills and attributes:

Death: 10
Soul Reaping:4
Curses: 2

Skills:
Animate bone horror
Animate bone fiend
Deathly swarm
Vile touch
Verata's sacrifice
Shadow of Fear
Purge Conditions
Resurrection signet

Right now, I can dominate fire imps with minions, however, the problem is getting corpses for my minions. I don't want to have to use henchies and deathly swarm/vile touch isn't powerful enough. Any suggestions? From your build, you should have been to Copperhammer Mines already (Verata's sacrifice). So I assume you have "Camp Rankor". Here is what I did for my L12 N/R. I went out with 7 henchies into snake dance, and capped "Spiteful Spirit". I lowered my Death a little and boosted curse to use SS. After that, I had no problem with corpses.
Capping SS with henchies is not hard for a MM. Once you have your first minion, you all set.

Usually, the Binders stand outside the AoE for SS so i just use my combo on them just to smack 'em down. I understand why Virulence is there and how you use it because I use it myself at times. But you are taking 3 seconds and 15 energy to get someone diseased. Then, you cast Virulence to overwrite disease, plus give poison and weakness (because you can't suffer from disease twice at the same time). I am suggesting casting Enfeeble taking 1 second and 5 energy and following it up with Virulence for the disease, poison, and weakness.

I just need a spell to cast a "condition" onto the foe to cast VIRULENCE on it. Thanks for the tip

when tomb farming with B/P rangers i like to squeeze in mark of pain as my offensive spell. the sheer amount of numbers popping out is fun to watch and the total damage is huge doesnt mark of pain make the enemies scatter?
