Guild Wars 2

All of the npc’s in pvp? Mesmer clones, thieves guild, necro minions (haha ok a stretch there, I know they suck), guardian spirit weps… Its really bothering me lately. Not only is it causing insane clutter on the screen but I also feel like it’s promoting really lazy gameplay. Just get your npc’s up in someones face and go make a sandwich. It’s not like they can target you while they sift through the garbage on the screen.

Thought this game was all about skill and using your abilities at the correct times. How does having 10 npc’s doing all the work promote skill? Even if it is spvp. Isn’t the idea behind it to get your skills/strats/timing down so that you are prepared for tpvp?

Idk… might not be a huge problem in tpvp but for spvp its getting old really fast. I’ll go out on a limb here and say a large majority of the people that are in the mists are doing spvp and I can’t imagine that they are all enjoying playing against the computer.

Well… something to bare in mind is, at least every class I’ve played so far, every utility slot you use for minion… (spirit weapon, turret, etc.) is one less condition removal, one less stunbreak, etc.

So if you CAN sift through the garbage and lay some conditions down, or stick to them for some good solid focused damage, they can’t defend themselves anywhere near the level of a player with better suited utility slots. The exception seems to be Mesmer, but I have no knowledge of what utilities they have in reguards to their clones, so I can’t say.

spoiler alert: mark the target with all the pets and then target them that way instead of spamming tab

Doesn’t bother me, except Thieve’s Guild is kind of a cheap skill, but the entire profession is like that so… doesn’t bother me. Mark the target who controls the NPC’s in question and solve the problem by killing them.

Haha yeah thats usually what I do. Not a tab target kinda guy. Its just annoying trying to sift through the npc’s to get to that player when its the heat of the moment and said npc’s are already pounding your face in. Meanwhile the player is just kiting/stealthing/also doing damage. I know it’s part of the game but it’s just getting a little old
