Easy way to fix the AI of Necro pets
agreed, but there is no need for F4, just plain attack/deffend button would sufice, and i would also change so that blood fiend dosent attack and has more hp couse as it is now it just dies too fast
So we would then have one control for ALL of our pets then? Either they are ALL passive or ALL aggresive? Not that it is a bad thing just wondering if that is how you were thinking of this.
I’d like this, or the ability to click on a minion and click the ground to target aggro them towards that location. Give us some sort of ability to drive them around, or they are useless.
On the one hand, minions are mindless undead and shouldn’t have fantastic AI, however we are the minion’s master, we should be able to control them. Be it telling them all to attack or back off.
When the minions stand next to you and dont attack it is really frustrating – Almost as if all your trait points were wasted and you had no utility skills equipped.
All I really want from my minions is that they don’t sit next to me doing absolutely nothing while I’m getting mykitten kicked. It’s pretty simple; if you’re in combat there’s no reason your pets shouldn’t also be.
Being able to control what each individual pet does, if it stays back or attacks and such would be wonderful but that sounds a bit too overwhelming, complicated and precise to pull off.
Just having them fight what you’re fighting would be wonderful, or at least target the nearest enemy or the one with lowest health – SOMETHING other than standing around.
On a side note – the blood fiend should have a lot more HP and defence but deal less damage. Because currently it does indeed die way too quickly, and the health syphon it does is nearly useless. So if it had better survivability at the cost of dealing lower damage, but also syphoning exactly the damage it deals would be nice.
At the very least, I would love F2 = go attack this target. Thats all I need.
A more extreme fix, which some of you may flame me for, but whatever…
Make deathshroud an elite. Keep the life force bar and have it fuel the duration of our elite forms, make death shroud an elite. Plague, lich, and deathshroud would all use the life force bar. lower the recast of all 3 slightly. Make our class mechanic in addition to life force fueling our elites a pet, similar to the Ranger mechanic. It would basically be a powerful flesh golem. Give it commands similar to the ranger pet, all minions summoned would follow commands given to the main pet.
a bit extreme, I know, but I was a die hard minion master in GW1 and although I’ve played GW1 necro in other builds, I’ll always choose minions over anything else and always associate minions as the necromancer cornerstone.
