if you are into the bone minion death nova bomb, next time you do it take high healing and dwaynas sorrow. just cast dwaynas sorrow on yourself when all the minions are gathered round you and when they die, you get a free heal party! of course this works with any MM build as long as you are n/mo and have room for dwaynas sorrow.

I just chatted this over with my wife. How does it fit on the skill bar?

Elite (Fleshy?)
Animate Bone Minions
Taste of Death
Death Nova
Rez
BotM

That only leaves two optional slots.

Yeah I do this. Cast it on yourself and any time minions die your party gets healed, you don't have to be close or anything. It's not predictable but in heavy battles as you are constantly creating new minions to replace the old, it makes a difference. With 10 points in healing it's 35 health for the whole party, so that's 350 health for everyone from 10 minions dying... not bad at all. And the best part is, it's maintenance free -- just remember to recast Dwayna's Sorrow every 30 seconds.

If you are going this route, it makes sense to use Heal Area instead of Blood of the Master to heal your minions as you travel.

Note that DS doesn't heal minions or other allies. Just your own party.

It'll fit.

Remember that you're using all death skills, so what essentially happens is that your skills will be death & Soul reaping

Try it like this...

Animate Flesh Golem Animate Bone Minions Taste of Death Death Nova Blood of the Master (pointless, but if you really want) Dwayna's Sorrow == OPEN == (Although, I'd use Healing Breeze or a more direct heal skill) Ressurrect (or other Monk Rez)

  • Blood of the Master (pointless, but if you really want) Dwayna's Sorrow == OPEN == (Although, I'd use Healing Breeze or a more direct heal skill) Ressurrect (or other Monk Rez) Since this is more of a minion bomber build, what is the BoTM for? Is it to keep the Flesh Golem alive?

    I'm only including BotM b/c he did. HOnestly, I wouldn't even take Golem if I was doing minion bomber build.

    In a bomber build, Golem = Pointless (IMO). I'd rather use anoter elite. Maybe Tainted Flesh or something. Spamming Tainted Flesh on minions is a nice little way to punish warriors for attacking them.

    Tainted Flesh + Death Nova + Animate Minion = Dmg + -8 Degen (-4 Disease & -4 Poison).

    Alt, you can use Virulence or pretty much any other death elite you want. It might not be bad to bring icy veins and cast that on the enemy your minions are attacking. This way, not only are minions bombs, but so is the enemy.

    I ran this today for 5 in a row at FA

    death: ~14
    heal: ~11
    sr: rest

    Martyr
    Heal Party
    Healing Breeze
    D Sorrow
    Bone Minions
    Death Nova
    Plague Transfer
    Taste of Death

    Worked pretty well. Don't get full effect from first two, but they help often enough.

    Got it. When minion bombing, forget everything else you know about MMing.

    Makes sense.
