Guild Wars 2

Playing a Necromancer and having a few minions around for additional muscle is great for the most part expecially those moments when she’s alone in the wilderness with only angry wildlife everywhere wanting to rip chunks out of her, but what happens if, after a hard day’s killing and exploring, I want my character to rest up for a few hours, down a few pints at the local inn and have a chat with the locals? Those minions simply do not have the manners to wait outside and simply end up getting in everybody’s way.

This is further exacerbated now that Lion’s Arch is no more, and the new public gathering site is a run-down old ruin surrounded by harsh wilderness where even the rabbits are out to get her. Still, it doesn’t mean my Necro needs to be flanked by the abominations of her own making 24/7, needlessly obscuring NPCs and other players.

So, how about a destroy all minions hotkey? To avoid it being misused in W3 and PvP (could it even be misused?) it should have a cooldown timer of perhaps 1-2 minutes attached to it as well).

Thoughts?

Its called getting moa morphed cause balance! But in all seriousness yea it would be nice to have a force stowed pet for ranger/necros. It could be abused for a necro to build meter for pvp before the match starts but they can already do that anyway so it doesnt really matter.

Changing utility skills temp wont destroy them? On my necro he only uses the elite minion as I prefer wells and that’s the only way I can get rid of him if I don’t want him around anymore – change elite skill and he dies.

Might be worth a shot.

It’s a bit clunky, but I never realised that I could do this to get rid of the minions. Seems to work on all the minions summoned so far.

Cheers!

Yeah I bet it is a pain for all your minions, but I guess it’s a work around for now at least. You should try out a well build you just might like it. :P

Or you can let them be killed by said wildlife, and just not summon them, again. I do that when I need the Dodge or Interrupt Achievement. (So the mobs target me, instead). =)
