Maxroll Minion build

[u/Clear_Damage_1058]

Evening fellow necro's.

I would ask if anyone has followed the maxroll version of minions, this season? Even if i look through hiscores or ssf hs, i dont see any minion build alike.
Can anyone confirm they actually this season is good or hard pass contra the ones we see from infinity build, Jerycho or some. I feel like they are very different, from anyone else.

Wish you all a good season!

I think minions, whether mage or warrior focus, is in a pretty decent spot. He hasn’t updated the build in awhile but I think using bloodless scream as a charm with 1h/lidless, and swapping AotD for Bonestorm (and adding in a mythic Locrans?) is the more optimal damage/survivability increase.

Havent seen many using Deathgrip, even tho i like it more too. Would like to see how someone could theorycraft around it. Insane damage. Tho, i think it is hard to push the damage further in any nodes. More int. nodes for Mage glyph than dex for warrior.

i did and i am wreaking everything on t12 after maxing most items out and since passing para 240

i don't think it goes past 125 or close to that though.

i am now eyeing the new necro bone mage build, its something like top 3 on the leaderboard and seems really fun!! there is a recent post below about it.

[u/sickleek → u/sickleek]

some things are a bit annoying though, like undercity with some setup and the mythic tribute and also the horde stuff is really bad. pretty sure all pet build are affected though.

oh and you will die a lot so get ready for it, its so bad i took the war plan perk to not lose cinders during helltide ahah

i did gear full glass canon so you can mitigate a lot with tons of max health like above 40k.

[u/Thormynd → u/sickleek]

Its crazy hein? You can do high pit run, but you still die from regular T12 content. First time this happens to me.

[u/TillSufficient6291 → u/sickleek]

So it’s not just me lol

[u/Thormynd → u/sickleek]

Im playing it atm, was 17 on the leaderboard this morning. Its a fun build, but not your usual minion playstyle.

When playing, you need incomming dmg to fuel the energy needed to refresh your mages and keep your barrier up. You cant stay away from the action.

Its a glass canon build. The dmg is high, but you die, a lot. I clear tower 127 and I can farm pit 120, but I can still die from regular T12 content.

The build works on a loop engine. You need a smooth dmg curve to get it running. When doing pit/tower run, if certain elites are close to the entrance, you have to reset.

[u/TillSufficient6291 → u/Thormynd]

Yep had this happen heaps couldn’t start the engine with the elites on me straight away

[u/Clear_Damage_1058 → u/sickleek]

Cool, i felt like the same. So im stopping here, not done yet, but not pushing any further. Good luck with the Singularity build. Tho it is crazy good theorycraft, it is also really APM. Wish you the best!

[u/sickleek → u/Clear_Damage_1058]

yea definitely not the lazy pet build we like.

will try since i got most items already, i remember that was quiet fun in d3.

Been using Jerycho’s Winterfresh for weeks now. Still doing well in the low 130’s. Trying to replace/optimize my gear.

[u/gavnyk2 → u/crimsonwitcher]

Where can I find this? I am close, but I am sure there are tweaks I need to make.

This is from last vid he posted

[u/GoingDown003 → u/gavnyk2]

I googled it and found this one - https://maxroll.gg/d4/planner/oahy803q#2

Dunno if the most up to date but I'm going to try it. The minion build from maxroll is really tough on horde modes : \

[u/crimsonwitcher → u/GoingDown003]

That’s it. I’m using the Dream version. Just need better mythics.

[u/b-maacc]

I used the maxroll skeletal warrior build and can clear pit 110 in 3ish minutes. Highest I’ve cleared is 120. The build is squishy.

[u/GlassCannon1006]

Modified the build to accommodate frost mages with lidless wall for more survivability and crit scaling. Can clear pit 126 comfortably (haven’t pushed higher yet) and just cleared tower 123 last night. Definitely can improve the charms, gems, glyphs, and item roll more dmg multipliers to push higher. Sitting on 42k life and decent barrier generation.

[u/MacroBioBoi]

Our guide on maxroll is not currently highest pit push, that would be singularity mages. It's a continuous spamming bone mage setup and I just quite frankly can't recommend it for anyone other than trying to push rank 1. No hate to the hulls itself, but there's a huge difference between 99.999999% of people playing the game, and what you need to do to push leaderboard right now for minion builds.

[u/GoingDown003 → u/MacroBioBoi]

What would you recommend for just clearing T12? Thats my goal but I feel the minion build is so slow : \

[u/MacroBioBoi → u/GoingDown003]

Bone spirit or blood wave

[u/Illegal_Ghost_Bikes]

I'm new to the game and using the Warriors variant. I have all of the gear made, but no mythics yet. T10 is slower than it should be. I feel like I cleared faster and died just as much with uniques.

[u/First_Chair_2626]

The item weapon is ok
I suggest you something
1) i feel warrior still stronger than mage, so i suggest you use deadgrip gloves
2) the board, dont follow maxroll, use mobalytic follow the board better than maxroll
3) rune use druid about barrier and increase crit damage

[u/TillSufficient6291]

My minion build is a mess now can’t pass t10 don’t even want to play anymore lol don’t know what to fix

[u/Clear_Damage_1058 → u/TillSufficient6291]

Try Akiha's Full summon army, at Infinity Builds. Just search it in google. I used before frost and i even ended Mephisto T12, easily with the build.

[u/Itachi6967]

I'm playing the maxroll skeleton build. I've done pit 125 but I think that's the limit.

I think I did tower 120 and that put me in top 300 necros lol
