Maw of Mischief Build

  • Death Wish is a channelled skill with thirteen stages that selects one of your minions per channeling stage. While channelling, the selected minions have immense Attack, Cast and Movement Speed and have the ability to pass through enemies. When the channelling is released, these minions will explode.
  • Each explosion deals a flat amount of fire spell damage in an area. It also deals 13% of the minion’s maximum life as fire damage in the same area. The life-scaling portion of the damage does not scale with spell damage. Each explosion will deal more damage the more stages you built up.
  • In addition to the benefits of the skill, wearing the helmet makes your minions aggressive which means they’ll target enemies from further away and find their way to enemies for maximum pay-off when the explosion occurs.

How does the Maw of Mischief Helmet skill "Death Wish" prioritize the minions that will be chosen first to explode? Making it choose minions based on proximity of the location of the mouse would make sense, but it seems to be almost random.

The only prioritisation it has is that it cannot affect immortal minions or minions already affected by the skill. Beyond that it is random.
