Guild Wars 2

I have a question. It may be a noob one.

In PvP do you think it’s better to fight the minions of a ranger or necro or just ignore them and let them hack at you until the player is dead.

I usually play a guardian or mesmer and I tend to think targeting them is a bad idea. However, it really annoys me when I have them following me around just biting at me. Sometimes I kill them just so I don’t have to be annoyed.

What do you think or do?

Anymore, just ignore them. Especially ranger’s pet. They will often die to AOE, focus on avoiding the master’s CC (especially MM) and just kill the guy, let splash damage kill the pets and keep on your toes to make the poor AI rarely touch you and you’ll be golden. On guardian, just gather them up and blow your lid, then kill the Necro easy peasy. Best thing to do is use terrain to mess them up if you don’t build with a lot of AOE or juke them with teleports, keep them moving and not on you. They make you work but if you’re willing to do that work (kiting them around) they become quite a bit easier to take down.

The only necro minion worth killing is the blood fiend because it is their main heal. It is important to watch out for the cc from the pets, and otherwise move away from them. If your line of sighting the ranger, it is worth it to kill the pet.

Unless you’re really bad at kiting, if you can kite long enough and kill the flesh golem, it’ll help you a tad bit, as his autos apply short cripples which make it harder to flee the minions in general. But as you get better it should really be a non-issue. Hell, most times a guardian can face tank them and AOE them down then heal up and finish the job.

Watch out for the CC’s on both ranger pets and that big flesh golem guy, but aside from that, you can basically ignore them
