Guild Wars 2

I’m new to Guild Wars and just made a necromancer.
I had about ten minutes to play before logging last night. I logged in today and tried to summon my Blood Fiend and it just summons it and it dies right away…
I see there is a sacrafice blood fiend skill that overlaps the summoning skill, but i assume it would cast summon unless there was one alive, then it would sacrafice it?? But it seems to just be summoning and sacraficing right away every time.

I just want to summon my pet and not have him die instantly.
Thank you! Sorry if it’s a dumb question.

This is quite annoying, but that is how it just is. I do my best to ignore the wretched creature.

Yesterday when I first made my character, I was able to summon my blood fiend and he actually stayed alive and faught with me. Now i summon him and he gets sacraficed instantly… ? Doesn’t seem how it is supposed to be…

Make sure u dont have the skill on auto use.

That would be helpful if I knew what auto-use was or how to take it off auto-use sacrafice….

Auto-attack is enabled/disabled by hitting Ctrl + Mouse 2 on a skill. When enabled that skill will automatically repeat whenever it’s ready (your weapon 1 skill is set as this by default, since this is the basic auto-attack).

Or you can stop double clicking your skills.
