2-Minion Strategies (in Contests)
I'm going to start an NCB in 3 weeks or so, and I'm looking for some two minion strategies, so say 300k to the person who can give me the best idea for one. (Has to be two minion, if it's really good, then maybe 3-4 minion.)
And if I can't find any, then here are the strats I'm looking at:
Strat #1:
1st Minion
AS / DM
Corn, BoF, AoL, RoS
2nd Minion
CoC / HP / AP
Standard mage gear, AoI, SoC
Strat #2:
1st Minion
AMF (or EC) / GA
Corn, BoF, AoL
2nd Minion
Junction / AS
Hal, BGs, AoM, EBs, AoF, HoC
Comments on those strategies, and new ideas will be welcome. :)
Thanks!

The first strategy is very similar to what I'm using (But haven't yet gathered the equipment for).
I'm using Fireball and an FF instead of CoC and RoS, though.

Shadow Cloak, BoF

2nd minion
Junction
Shocking Grasp
HoC, AoF, BoF, NSC, IF
That's what I used before I stopped playing (Not SG, though). It was really effective! It's possible (likely) that I'll go back to it in a while. I'm not doing it at the moment as I can't afford the equipment.
1st. Minion.
RoE
Train half in fireball and half in ablative shield.
2nd minion
Phantom link
wall
3rd minion
Phanton link wall
4th minion phantom link wall.
I think a strat like this would be fun. Just think of as a charactor like GoD with 4 killslots with a ton of hp =D.
1st minion
CoC mage
RoBF
Wall Armor
2nd minion
HP + PL
AoF and elven gear.

1st minion
junction AS
2nd minion
decay
GA
gear up to you i dont have money for good gear so i just rent stuff i use a steel familiar also
For your strat #2, I'd recommend giant strength on the first more than GA. I hear from a lot of people that Hals are useless in melee, so you might as well take advantage of them as much as possible while they are still useful, and adding more strength is a great way to do that.
Personally I'm liking OB's and Ranger's ideas. (Ranger CM'ed me an idea for a 2 minion team, one training MM/HP, another training AS/DM w/ an SF). Titan's is also good, and thanks to everyone who's entering so far!

#1 Full AS
Enchanter gear and/or some leadership stuff
#2 AMF/GA/Junction
I would not worry about exp spread here on this minion. My 4 minion team uses 1 minion with half AMF/GA and it's working beautifully. Junction either an Ice familiar (my personal favorite because its the most damage, or an Electric Familiar. You may have problems with other AMF/GA with the Ice, but since you have one minion focusing all on AS, it shouldn't be a big problem. EF is pretty solid all around.
Don't go the RoS route, it's not very efficient compared to a familiar strat. I don't really understand the whole RoS craze right now ><
I have decided to go with my own Hal strat. So, I'll be giving a 100k to Titan, Ranger, and Rawr, whose strats I liked the best. Rave get's an honorary 100k for his GS suggestion.
Thanks everyone!
