This build is not favored by the
GuildWiki community.
The general consensus among users of GuildWiki is that this
build is not viable.

The purpose of this build is to nuke down groups of enemies using low level minions charged with Death Nova. This will cause each minion to explode, inflicting about 100 points of damage to each foe in the area and poisoning them for 15 seconds. It has the advantage of having a very low recharge time between each Animate Bone Minions cast. Also energy requirements for the combo are low.

[edit] Equipment
- Armor
You can use any energy enhanced armor such as Necromancer Necrotic Armor
- Weapons
20/20 Bone Staff : Halves casting time of Death Magic Spells and Halves Skill recharge of Death Magic Spells
20/20 Rod (faction) + 20/20 Grim Cesta : Halves casting and recharge time of Death Magic spells
[edit] Usage
Use Animate Bone Minions and Animate Flesh Golem, cast Death Nova on all your minions, and send them to attack, use Blood Renewal and Blood of the Master if you need to carry remaining bombs to next fight. Blood Renewal will get you back your lost health from healing your Bone Minions. You may also use Taste of Death on Flesh Golem to heal yourself since Flesh Golem has a higher life than your regular Bone Minions.
Flesh Golem could be used for a over 200 damage spike with poison for the people around him. When the skill, Animate Flesh Golem, is recharged, cast Death Nova on it and let it die or use Taste of Death on it. Once your Flesh Golem is down, use Putrid Explosion, Animate Flesh Golem again, or Well of Suffering depending which would be better for your situation. Use Taste of Death if you want your Bone Minions or Flesh Golem to die faster while having Death Nova on them.
Repeat this action as many times as you like. For very close groups of foes you can inflict extra damage using Well of Suffering. Putrid Explosion would work well to finish off the foes weakened by your Flesh Golem and Bone Minions.
[edit] Counters
Heavy hitters will get you since you will have two Superior Runes on you.
Healing will also be an issue if you run out or don't have any Bone Minions to spare.
Of course, watch out for minion thieves who will render you powerless.
[edit] Variants
1. You may change Well of Suffering for an additional Minion spell.
2. You may change Blood of the Master with Vampiric Gaze for more healing.
3. You may change Blood Renewal to Life Siphon or Vampiric Gaze
[edit] Notes
This build works only is there is no other Minion Master in your party since he/she will cure the minions preventing them from exploding, unless all the necromancers in the party are Minion Bombers.
Watch your health as it may go down fast due to the lack of health and healing. Having one monk in the group will be nice.
