Boosting Minions

from Demigod Forums

Basically, i've been playing QoT recently, and i was wondering if anyone knew of a couple of items that would help boost the effectiveness of minions most. I never normally looked to boost the stats of minions before, instead i just got items i'd get for any normal demigod. 

What Items are most effective for boosting up the damage/health/attackspeed of minions and is it worth doing instead of just buying items to protect my demigod?

Good question, would also like to know. I just play OAK so I have my own set of item choices to max my minion but thats a secret *_*

I play mostly as Oak as well (and a little QoT and Sedna)

Beginning - scale + banded + vlemish + nimoth  i avoid minion boosting since i typically dont get any minions until i can afford priests IV (then archers IV) and if i could use a wee bit more DPS then i'll get grunts IV for endgame

mid-game i go for hauberk + unbreakable boots and then platemail of the crusader. 

late game - godplate if i am lucky.

these arent minion boosting entirely since i have to worry about health & armor as well. 

The minions seem to stay alive pretty long with just hauberk and crusader.

Fell darkur gloves are also good for minions.

Ring of Divine Might of course. Pretty nice effect when you have your 16 minions at lvl 10 ;) (Oak/Erebus). For QoT's 10 minions that'll be nice too.

If you can handle having a weak DG but uber strong minions, here's a bunch of the minion related items. Check www.demigodDB.com for the stats.

Armor

Hauberk of Life - Nice HP boost.

Platemail of the Crusader - Very expensive but if you have the cash for it, it is also a good HP booster. I believe this is also the only item with minion regen.

Godplate - You probably won't need so my minion HP to warrent getting this.

Helm

Theurgist's Cap - Another HP boosting item along with some regen.

Gloves

Gloves of Fell-Durkur - Great for increasing minion damage and attack speed.

Gladiator Gloves - Smaller damage increase for minions.

Trinket

Forest Band - Adds armor to minions. Only effective if minions are taking tower or auto attack damage.

Twig of Life - Good item when fighting AoE DGs. Also adds small amount of HP.

Consumable

Sigil of Vitality - Most efficient minion HP item. Adds small amount of HP for extremely low price.

Artifact

Bulwark of Ages - Adds a moderate amount of HP and armor to minions.

Askandor -Adds plenty of extra attack speed and damage to minions.

All Father's Ring - Does everything and should be bought anytime you can afford it.

If you are a good team player this might be a good Idea, so if anyone tries out a minion boost build it would be fun if you told us about it ^^

Ring of Divine Might DOES NOT WORK on Shamblers, I tested it. I can only guess that that's another embarassing bug which should have never existed. You do most damage with your Shamblers by Mulching them.
