Possible to make a Death Knight type of class

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a build which uses minions and a melee skill?

I was thinking of a way to use minions and a totem like decoy or rejuvenate, with a 2H skill like Spectral Throw or Cleave.

Like I heard about a claw called The Scourge: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Scourge

In World of Warcraft I play a Death Knight. And, they are very strong, so I am sure if I made a character like this in POE it would be very strong also.

Arthas.

The Necromancer can be made into a death knight-type class using the extremely strong bonus from bone offering and possibly some synergies with minions to tank and help out with the dps a little. I remember seeing a max block/spell block tank necromancer build some time ago. Combined with The Scourge, you could potentially make something quite interesting.

The problem is, you have to really know what you're doing. It would be a complicated build with many factors to balance. It will also be very gear-intensive and won't be able to compete with the current top builds in terms of brute force and effectiveness. The claw itself is still nonexistent in the new leagues and costs exalts in Standard, which will add additional and unwanted stress on your budget. I would recommend to stay far away from it if you aren't highly experienced in the game.

If your highest character level is 81, I would respectfully recommend shelving the idea for now unless you are extremely patient and willing to invest time, effort and a lot of trial and error.

You could use the new claw...but then you'd be using a claw.
