Lets make a fantasy come true
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
I have talk to a friend of mine and he would like to do this...
Togather we are going to make thee bigest Minion Army for everyone to watch and enjoy via a capture video.
We need volenteers for saturday(seince everyone usally has time then)
We would require 3 Minion Masters
N/-- who does Animate Bone Minions, Verata's Sacrifice and Blood of the Master, wells are optional
then we need a support of a Spirit keeper.
R/-- --/R needs Energizing Wind, Quicking Zypher and Healing Spring.
and we MIGHT need a Me/Mo
for a Fast Casting: Restore life
there is a position for 1 more if we are in a 5/6 place or 3 more in a 5/8
if your interested for this saturday leave your comments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK reVAMPED idea
3 minion masters
1 spirit keeper
My dead courpse
maybe another --/Me Me/-- suicide to make a courpse(if you got a 55hp build you can be just like me)
then 2 Me/Mo's Fast Casting Restore Life.
so far i got a PM of 1 guy wanting to be one of the Fast cast rez'rs
3 Minion Masters
and 2 spirit keepers
if theres 3 minion masters, 2fast casting rez'rs, 2lifeless bodys and 1 spirit keeper thats a full party of 8.
Do we want the Me/Mo's to have Heal Area? Sounds like a good idea.

As the health of a minion goes lower the degen hits -10 .. So beware ..
I suggest just get 2 people with maxed death magic and verturas sacrifice .. it heals undead ALLIES

Do you mean 1 E/Mo to put Mending on all the minions? I'm cursious how that's done. How do you get "unlimited" energy pips? (I haven't played Mo for a long time and did not get all her skills, sorry).

Since degen maxes at 10, a E/mo with 100+ energy can maintain a nearly infinate number of enchantments by using ether renewal.

Oh holy monkey!!
I totally just thought that you can only cast "maintained" enchantments when you have positive energy pips. I just didn't realize the possibility of going on the negative side. Thanks for the info. Oh man, I feel kinda dumb now. Haha. Definitely gotta get some sleep.
-_- zzzzZZZ

Here is MarkyX' screenshot showing how you can maintain an unlimited of enchantments (or more accurately, a number of enchantments only limited by the number of targets). Note that there is only 12 targets used in this screenshot. With a huge army of undeads you can fill an entire screen with enchantment upkeep icons.

yes i want the E/Mo to edit there gui and see how many mendings you can get within the window hehe.
Nightsorrow
Well I have a Minion Master Necro (Unlocked every Necro skill, have 2 sets of armour for 16 death or 16 blood) and would happily take part in this
IGN is Lucian Nightsorrow. Only problem is I play on European, so if it's largely an American event (as they all seem to be) then International Districts would have to be used. Hope that's not too inconvenient.
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
yes we need to decide WHERE to meet; International <place>... something wide an open maybe outside the Ven. refugde in the west... outside on a cliff like area around bettletun, too bad we cant goto pre searing catacombs 
if you got any ideas where you would like to meet juts pots it.
personaly I like outside of fishermens haven the beach area is nice and calm; and good lighting. but the bad thing is the monsters there... and we can only have a 6 party group.
2nd choice would be on the cliff at the war camp.

I could play the minion master.
However there is one huge simple skill that would RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO this up.
Verata's Aura.
EDIT: Nm, thought you were talking about tombs. Don't have a necro PvE char

Sign my minion master up if needed! We probably could do this with just 3 minion masters and no one else.
By the way, Heal Area is another indespensible skill for maintaining large minion armies.
One issue that may come up is where we are going to get 100+ corpses. My thought is to perhaps pick a place with Lava or Toxic Swamp and load up on suicider volunteers. Another idea is to have some self sacrificing necros and rezzers.

Oh dont worry ill be falling to the ground (dead)asleep and you wont be able to rez me.

Some more thoughts:
To get enough corpses, we can either a) go to a place and kill the entire zone of bad guys or b) use PC suiciders
If we choose a) then QZ would be somewhat useful, as we'll kill pretty quickly and will need to cast minions quickly. The problem with this approach is that we'll be limited by the number of mobs in the zone.
If we choose b) we will not be limited in the number of corpses, but our progress will be much slower as people can't die and rez very quickly. QZ will be overkill with skill recharge.
With either approach, I'd also recommend using Fertile Season to increase minion lifespans. I'm not sure how useful mending would be anyway, since the majority of our minions will hit the -10 health regen cap. Biggest thing keeping minions alive will be spamming Verata's Sacrifice.
Also, what about using Vengence to rez? It would mean that we'd have a fresh corpse every 30 seconds or so. (Too bad NR doesn't remove enchants anymore, because we would have been able to spam those two together to get a ton of corpses).

QZ speeds up skill recharge.
Fertile Season and Symbiosis are both going to be needed

belive me you'll have a freash corpse every 4 seconds, Mine. thats why we need a fast casting Restore life. i have already done a beta test on this; it works just we ddint have rangers and menders ect ect just the basics how to make freash courpse and how fast these minions died...
when i said you wont be able to rez me would be i wouldnt stand. but i would provide freash courpse's

Are you trying to beat the record for PvE or PvP? For PvP, Lulu definitely holds the current title with over 90 minions, the last time I counted. Either way, good luck to you!
My-Excuse
Deviance, i suggest trying it with PVP in tombs. seeing that this is just for looks and not for actual combat, one could always use the beginning area (where you fight the ghost team). not to mention all of the item upgrades necesary for optimal performance would be easily and readily available.

mo/mes with echo and arcane echo
3x heal area
also, a 55 monk with 60dp would insta-death upon rez, vengeance is a 3 sec cast, right?

BTW...noon in which time zone?
D.E.V.i.A.N.C.E
i think we should go by the boards time zone. your last post was at 12:06am; so in like 12hrs from now
My-Excuse
Deviance, just to make sure, this IS pvp we are going to do. if it is PVE i do not have any acceptable mesmer skills nor a mesmer to use them on.
ill post again or PM you around 12 (assuming you already havent asked for roll)
IGN for pvp (ill be on pvp all day tommorow):
Nebuchadnezzar I I
looking forward to this.
oh and i was thinking, to help the resurects go faster, kai nui could be in charge of healing all party members 1-4 while i handle members 5-8. this way it reduces on trying to use a skill on the same person (especially with all the minions around).
i think a discussion on what skills to bring might be helpful.

good luck though, ill be looking forward to the screenshots. sorry i couldn't be of help.
