Minions - Boss

[....]

Am i missing something or are there lots of bosses where you cant spawn/respawn any minions because of a lack of corpses?

Feels like it completely disables a part of my build.

[....]

So am i missing a mechanic since nobody has that problem?

How do you use unearth at a boss?

[NatsuNoHime]

You can't, you work around it by kiting and using your other skills. It's slow af tho

Welcome to corpse based minion builds, roll with it or change class xD

Make sure you have scepter with skeletons and have archer as skill.

4 minions right there.

Make sure to work towards all minion re-summon speed in the board

The issue is that minions on their own do low damage meaning a full minion build isn't viable. Even with HP boost and revive speed it takes forever to down a boss unless your in a group.

Would be cool to be able to collect bones and store them in a special pouch "also with stats" let's say the pouch has charges too. That way the necro can throw the bones on the ground and manually resummon minions or something.

I have 7 self-summoning skelly archers with me, always, because I can ignite their poison arrow clouds with a well-placed Fire Wall. NEVER count on Unearth for the very reason you describe. Even with self-summoning skellies, I always move, kite, snipe, dot and hide behind stuff, especially when my skellies are respawning. Unearth is handy, I admit, because I can have 8 temp pets for a short while for, in my case, a total of 15 pets, but if you aren't using self-summoning skellies you'll die fast.

Try Uncut Spell Gems and get spells from other classes to back you and your skellies up. I have Frost Bomb (high damage, with a blast radius, like grenades) and I cast both Flame Wall (positioned so my archers can fire through it for the added fire damage to their arrows) and Bone Cage together to help protect me if the boss catches me briefly. Bone Cage can also pin enemies, not just damage them. Finally, I have a good Wand as my main weapon, and a good Staff as my secondary, and I'm doing well at lvl 15
