Strategy advice (in General)

I was thinking of hiring a mage later on for my new NCB character and also a wall later on too. Should I hire a mage who will train MM, DM and VA or just hire an enchanter training DM and VA? The character can be viewed here: Ring of Power Note: The UC minion is training HP, STR, DEX, UC, base EC and eventually protection to 20.

I think I would hold off for quite a while on hiring another minion. BUT when you do hire one I think you'd benefit more from a DM / VA enchanter .. especially if you plan to continue on with the RoS.

two minions will allow you to maximize the amount you put into UC

Prot + Mage Shield = Error

Also, a mage with DM and VA will never have enough exp for a DD spell. You may be able to put a decay on there, but you will have to train it up to a good level to prevent AMF ownage.

The mage shield will be worn by the mage wall eventually since I won't need one on my UC minion once I have 4 minions. I was also thinking that the mage will probably be very weak. Maybe I will sell the CoI and AGs and get myself an ELB instead. I will hire the enchanter when my character hits around 50k MPR and the mage wall later on.

Well, I would have the enchanter only train EC and VA because I hate the effect DM has on AMF. That would make your UC minion pretty hard to take down.

DM will be small so that the RoS will be able to protect my AMF from my DM. I was thinking whether it will be a waste of experience to train DM and VA or should I change the positions of AMF and DM. Meaning I will have DM and AS and another training AMF and VA.

I like the first combo then. If DM is going to be small, leave it on the minion that doesn't have the RoS so he can invest more XP into VA.

If you are gonna have 4 minions, then it would be wise to put the DM on the AS enchanter and have the AMF with the VA. That way you can devote more exp to AS without having to dilute too much with your AMF.

For an example, check out bartjan's character.
