What’s the DPS of a minion master? Anyone got the numbers?
Minion – Base – Vampiric – Vampiric Aura
Blood Fiend – 80 – 114 – 127
Bone Fiend – 191 – 259 – 285
Bone Minions (each) – 53(attack)/86(if summoned/blown up immediately) – 86/88 – 99/89
Flesh Wurm – 238 – 267 – 277
Shadow Fiend – 233 – 300 – 326
Flesh Golem – 589 – 673 – 705
That’s baseline with no crits. Base 4% crit chance, 150% crit damage. They’d also get 25% from the trait, then master DPS, fury, might, etc. all add too.
Don’t forget “Rise” if it’s taken. I was playing a funky clerics MM in BW3 that could consistently keep 20+ minions up, that damage, vampiric and lifesteal add up including supliment damage from the MM himself. It’s certainly no icebow/staff ele but it’s ALOT of incoming damage.
What do we say to the god of death? Not Today….

A lot of numbers doesn’t equal a lot of dps. I know the static amount from vampiric adds quite a bit, but for the personal damage you give up it’s not even close to making up for it.
The rise minions themselves also do really low damage, their only strong point dps-wise is that getting killed leaves a death nova, which will not take even longer.
I’m pretty sure that MM is FAR FAR from meta from a DPS standpoint. You could easily take 1 or 2 wells and have more damage potential than a full bar of minions. Especially considering you’ll have to spec fully into death magic to even make minions worthwhile, which means losing spite and soul reaping if you’re a reaper.
I like the change, it’s a huge QoL increase. I’m a longtime minionmancer fan; but I’m also a realist, and this isn’t making MM anything near meta.
