Scourge minion build?

[eldenbri.1059]

My son really likes playing minion builds. He mostly plays pve, but occasionally will run around with me a bit in WvW. I know the scourge may change before release, but wasn't sure how much synergy there really is with a minion build.

 

I came up with this build that seems like it might be okay. He definitely enjoys the sustain on his current reaper minion build, so I wanted something fairly tanky but that could still output damage. Any thoughts on this or other suggestions?

The minions here don't do too much except transfer a few conditions and provide some control abilities to hopefully keep foes in the area that the shades would damage.

It should work out well enough. I don't see any major problems, but I would suggest looking at Sand Savant if keeping targets in the are of the shades is difficult.

What I'll be doing for Scourge Minion... Fair amount of heals, fair amount of shields, power for fast PvWorld.
