Guild Wars 2

Either

a) Make it optional. It shouldn’t be a 5 point standard on the trait tree because of the severe downside of being a free rally for someone.
b) Make it so you cannot rally from a Jagged Horror. They are essentially suicide bombs anyway (self bleed, explode), so why rally from them? Rally from other things is fine I guess although not ideal for those who want minion master builds, but Jagged Horrors being unavoidable to get greater marks is a big deal.

Yeah, the Jagged Horror is more a downside of the Death Magic Trait Line than an advantage. It’s something you have to accept if you want greater marks or lower cool downs on your staff skills.

In my book, they should remove the Trait completely and replace it with something that’s actually useful. Mabye an visual effect?

i agree with this. i find jagged horrors more of a nuisance. in arah, when doing lupis, he has a chance to spawn grubs at your jagged horror, and since it the jagged horror runs up to the boss, lupis just eats the grub and gains an easy stack.
