Umm guys look at the hidden arcana article where they talk about some guy working on the reaper elite.. above it is a picture of minions.
Ugh I was hoping the jagged horror shout was a one off but if they entire shout set is heavily minion focussed this is just disaster.. and it was going so well :/.
Power based minionmancer spec for necros?
Yikes.
Personally. Id love that. In all honesty though. I think your reading WAAAAAY to much into it. LIke massively so. Wait till after the reveal today. One shout with minions as a BYPRODUCT a minion build does not make.

Just imagine it; a Celestial Shout Minion Mancer Reaper with perma-chill…
Death Novas everywhere, condi cleanse comming out of their nose while keeping everyone on the point due to their ability to drag and keep people in combat
Fearing the Reaper yet?

I would, but he needs more cowbell.
Seriously though, there’s nothing wrong with more minions. They should be more utility-based though rather than summons following Necro all the time. Like Flesh Wurm.
Minion siphoning all healing within radius from enemies and giving it back to Necromancer when destroyed? Minion similar to Risen Abomination, gaining Frenzy when Necromancer is hit, giving AoE quickness every couple hits and AoE slow on destruction?
You can use your imagination.

Should be yeah, forgive me but I do not have much faith in devs anymore. I was hoping for necromancers to get some buffs to condi, eventually team support, which the expansion could bring. The reaper seems more like a power based spec, which necro totally didn’t need.
If they will make it right and the minions actually will be more utility based rather than ‘’do dmg for me’’ based, then yeah I think it’s a good thing. We’ll have to wait and see.

No worries, you are not alone… I was just pointing out in my obscure message that you can make everything sound wonderful on paper – but in practice there are several limiting factors to the gameplay of the Necromancer… Having no faith in those who have handled the balancing of the profession for three is not weird considering it’s state
Unique utility is drastically needed in two formats of the game… While Boonhate is not bad, it is also not the end of all, and countered easily with the spaming of boons, or lesser emphasis on it… How this will play out, we can only guess and see tonight; I hope to be pleasantly surprised since I also am (not) looking forward to the Warrior Specialization to see what kind of change it can bring…
Umm is it just me or did the thread get moved? I thought I posted this in the necro forums
