Build Overview

With Season 15 in full swing, Minions have come out as a clear top contender for the Necromancer class thanks to the Uniques Deathgrip and Bloodless Scream to give your Skeletal Warriors: Reapers the spotlight for tons of damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Not Use The Army Of The Dead Charm Set?

The Fer of the Waking Touch is a very unfortunate charm set, as minion size and maximum life are both stats that have very little use to any minion build. The 25% attack speed gained from the 5 piece set effect and 60% from the 2 piece set effect are much worse than the damage multipliers gained from the Fer of the Black Shroud set even after accounting for the higher uptime on Army of the Dead.

Why Is Attack Speed So Important?

It is extremely important that you get to 100% minion attack speed to fully scale the Cult Leader paragon node. To make sure you have enough attack speed, go into your character sheet and add your attack speed with the stat, "Minion Attack Speed". That numbers needs to be 100% or greater.

Take out the gem that removes the chance to crit. This guy is borderline retarded.

I make a minion me to build every season. I got to use my this bloodless and ancestral unique temerity charms thanks to diamond mind and hellfire torch, can BARELY break 120 in the pit. Still can’t beat echo of Mephisto torment 12. Idk this guide isn’t very good because I’m actually commenting in one after 14 seasons. You should specify round about total recommended stats for everything relating to damage because the cube, enchanter, and blacksmith take great joy in screwing you out of what you’re trying to get. I’m just beating my head against the wall trying to make this build work in t12. No dice. Do better.

I tried playing with this build, but this just feels so bad. If you want to play with minions this season go with hand of naz, this was garbage.
