Hey, I wanted to make a minion master for PvE and I would like some feedback.

Augury of Death? You dont use shouts, pick something else. You dont really need Rise.
Blighters boon is pointless, you have so much survivability with the minions.
I say ditch Reaper for Soul reaping or Spite.

Chilling victory – but no chills in your kit.
Blighter’s boon – but you don’t have sufficient boon generation.
Augury of Death – for only one shout?

Looks strange to me.

When you fall, i will be right behind you and whisper: “Who will protect you now?”

Take Reaper’s Onslaught and Decimate Defenses. Augury of Death for only one shout is worth it if that shout is “Rise” which it is (when hitting 5 foes, it basically means you can almost keep up the minions permanently).

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

That is close to the build that I use for open world PvE. I use full berserker’s with scholars runes. Most of the time I use GS instead of dagger/WH, and I use axe/dagger instead of staff. I use the bone fiend instead of the shadow fiend. And as Lahmia suggested in the previous post I use Decimate Defenses and Reaper’s Onslaught in the Reaper tree.

I would never get rid of Rise. It is what allows soloing larger groups of mobs in low pop HoT or Silverwaste maps – all that extra toughness and life steal.

You’re not really going to be using wells in a “true” MM build (i.e., full minion bar). But the nice thing about power reaper is that you can easily switch between MM and non-MM builds (e.g., Reaper/Spite/SR or BM). Personally I find the MM build makes solo PvE a lot easier though, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of preference.

i use pretty much the same build in unranked PVP, its awesome,
the only real difference i have is using bone fiend instead of the shadow fiend
