n00b question regarding Necromancy Masterminds...

Hello All,

Sorry for what's probably a simple question, but running a search on the forums hasn't revealed a clear answer.

In the description for Enchant Undead and Dark Empowerment, it states that "you can only empower any given undead henchman once".

I just respecced my Necromancy Mastermind and finally selected those powers. In playing around, it seems like you can enchant your minions once per summon. Is that correct, or is this a one time enchant...period?

The wording is a little misleading if I can use a different minion "buff" each time I summon them.

Just looking for some clarification.

Thanks in advance!

They're AoE buffs that last until the henchman dies. Both buffs give the henchmen different powers, and stack with each other.

In short: Always take the upgrade powers as soon as they're available, and always use both on your henchmen whenever you summon them. (There are some exceptions to using both, but that gets into more complicated manipulating of the pet AI)

It means you cannot stack the 2 upgrades on a minion twice. When a minion is resummoned it isn't the same pet as it was before (even though you named them the same).

So after you summon all your pets you cast Enchant Undead and Dark Empowerment on the group. If any die or you dismiss them and resummon them, you will have to do it again if you want them to be upgraded.


total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
