Necro/Dark Build assistance.

Subscribing to this thread, some good thought in here and I've decided to try an MM again and I have this sudden fixation of making a Vahzilock (Eidolon) themed zombie MM.

My main villain is Necro/Dark and I could use some suggestions on making them less End dependant.

I'm interpreting this as you are having drawn-out battles with NPCs/Bosses/GMs, etc and would like to keep the End of your henchmen up.  To this I have 2 suggestions.

 

1)  The holiday Present inspirations.   The ones that drop during the Winter Event.   Provide 50.00 endurance to all within 20' of caster.  Its an AoE inspiration that affects up to 16 allies.  To know what Present inspiration provides what buff, place a bunch in your base's Inspiration storage.  You will see that the storage unit groups the Presents by buff.  For example, the 1st group of Presents is +50% HP.  I believe the order of the Presents on the market is organized in the same manner.  I just checked, you want the 3rd group of Presents down from the top.

 

2)  Create another account.  On this account make a Necro/Kin with Speed Boost selected.  Team with this MM and place him on 'Follow' with the Speed Boost power on auto.  You can also make an Illusion/Kin Controller and keep the stealth powers on.   The MM will give you twice the henchmen, but will be more of a hassle to tote around.  Its your call here on which AT to go with.  Back on Live we called these 'Pocket Kins'.
