Help me Choose my Strat (in General)

Alright, I have my strat almost planned out. There is mainly one thing I haven't been able to decide on. This is my strat.

2 minions

Minion 1
PL wall with Aoi, BoF, EC, EG, TSA, MgS, and either HoE or HoD depending on whether or not I want to turn it into a mini tank.

Minion 2
This is where I am still undecided.
Full UC or with a small AMF and maybe VA

equips AoJ, HoE, JKF, EB, HG and depending either a MgS or BoM

So my choice is either MgS on both minions which would grant a good amount of magic protection on all minions, but this would leave me open to decay.

What I want to know is whether or not it is worth it to leave myself open to decay for the extra protection vs magic.

Just so you know, there is no hurry on this as I wont be starting it until I get back from Iraq which wont be for another 4-5 months.

If you want a mini tank, just train archery and strength and a tiny bit of dexterity and let it wear a mageseeker bow. With the large HP and TSA, it should be able to handle the GA return. Good for taking out mages and your UC minion will handle the tanks.

i disagree. a mini msk tank will have almost no benefit to you and you won't be able to use PL. I would use either a SoD to take out any 20 hp minions or preferably a ex/axbow which work well to take tanks at lower levels.

Only problem with you build is that it is fairly PR heavy. Perhaps leave the mini tank stuff until later on because regardless of which weapon you choose you will need significant +'s so it'll boost your PR =lower rewards.

A named mageseeker bow is excellent in lower levels but a SoD is also a good choice though you will be heavily punished by GA.

My plan for the mini tank was an Exbow on 1 minion and an Axbow on the other. But those are secondary for when or if I end up with enough money.

Also to clarify something. The second minion would at most be a mini tank as well because it is actually just there to junction over the UC onto the JKF. So when I said full UC I ment full UC with maybe a little bit of str.
