I would like to propose a change to Bone minions.
That change would likely require a change to how necro deals with its summons.

The change is to allow necros to summon 5 bone minions for a focused minion hoard.
The way necros summon all the minions to acomplish this now plays , looks, and feels like a circus.

The change would be to make Summon Bone Minion a pasive buff type skill that summons a bone minion every 20 seconds(16 if you trait Minion Master).
So after 100 seconds you would have 5 Bone minions under your control.

The skill would retain the Putrid explosion effect but would explode 2 minion at once then go on a 20 second CD, no new minions would be summoned during that cd.
So after the putrid explosion if you started with 5 minions you would have 3 minions for 20 seconds before a new minion was summoned, then another 20 seconds and so on.

Now to balance this you would likely need to restrict necros to 1 summon skill at a time. So if they bring more than 1 minion skill, every time they summoned a different minion (with the ecception of Summon Blood Fiend) the active minion(or minions if bone fiends) would be destroyed with no trait effects applied like death nova. Basically exactly what happens to minions when you cast Lich Form.

And thats it in a nut shell.
I welcome your comments and feed back.
