My idea for a minion sacrifice build...
Shinigami God
I thought about this and based it off the spirit spamming strategy that has recently been nerfed. My idea is to use minions in place of spirits. However, since minions obviously need corpses to work, it would probably only work in PvE or ABs. Just have a necro with animate minions, horrors and golems plus taste of death start making minons then killing them instantly with taste of death. I had a few ideas that seemed good at first but I dismissed them, such as having the sacrifice necro be R/N for the expertise, however the soul reaping of minions dying would probably outweigh the expertise's energy cut. You could have this necro with 2 others, probably a degen and a plain out blood spiker, as well as a monk to round out the team. Would this idea work? Something I came up with while my internet went down and I was experiencing GW withdrawal

The general concept is the minion bomber. You use the following:Animate Bone Minions
Death Nova
Taste of Death
You can add Glyph of Renewal if you're an N/E.
N/Me uses Ether Feast or other inspiration magics (for HP & nrg management).
It sounds to me like you're just trying to make walking bombs. There is an Rt skill (Signet of Creation) that kills all minions after 30 sec. This way, you have enough time to put death nova on them all then watch for an AOE bomb.

not quite, I want to have lots of minions and have them die quickly to activate the soul reaping of other necros on your team to do major and unending damage with blood/curses. The death nova is quite optional, as it would help but is not the main purpose of my idea. That rt skill you were talking about would help a lot, although I think I could kill 10 minions with taste of death faster than 30 seconds. You know the old spirit spammer/blood spike combo that got nerfed? I'm trying to remake it with minions instead.

Signet of Creation will allow you to kill all undead allies (spirits included) in 30 seconds. No energy required. Taste of Death will cost you energy (yes you will regain energy via Soul Reaping). The activation of Death Nova is so you can gain more bodies to animate and destroy. Flesh Golem is a never ending supply of death and resurrection.
