As the title asks. In 3.5e, the Wizard was generally labled as a poor class for the minion-mastery part of necromancy and if you wanted that you where generally better served with a cleric or dread necromancer. However, in pathfinder, it seems like that may not be the case anymore. With wizards getting command undead for free, the undead focused school, and the ability to obtain desecrate easily through either the Pathfinder Savant or Agent of the Grave PrC, it seems that a minionmaster necromancer wizard is actually possible, but I want your opinions. Can a necromancy school wizard be a good undead animator/commander/undead hoardmaster type character? Dose he NEED agent of the grave(or pathfinder savant) to do it or can he get by single classed? Would I be better off doing what I have been and sticking to Bones Oracles for my minion-mastery needs(Don't like the RP of clerics due to being wis-based instead of int or cha-based.) or can a wizard be made into a good minion-master necromancer?
Any and all opinions are welcomed.
