I have decided to play Necromancer for one of my alts and I haven’t played in a long time. So my question is, are the minions still useless in this game due to the lack of regeneration?

Getting Minions to respond to a situation is rather difficult. Most the time when I’m using them they’re pacifists. Excluding the ranged minions. Melee minions don’t respond very quickly. They require you to attack, be hit, attack again, use 5 skills, swap weapons, use 5 more skills, enter Death shroud, heal them a bit, use more skills then beg them to fight for you. By that point the fight is over…

They also attack and move rather slow. Which makes it that much worse.

Minions add an enormous amount of dps, if and when they are on the ball. They are definitely worth learning how to use.

Minions are weak to AoE because they do not dodge. Neither do they heal or jump over the tiniest break in terrain. Learn their weaknesses and strengths. Experts can get them to outperform.
