Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if that’s how there supposed to be or not but I can’t play how I want to because minions just stand there instead of attacking. I thought a necromancer was supposed to be a master of minions but it’s not really worth having them when they just stand there.

Its a bug, should hopefully be fixed with expansion.

It’s a bug that has existed since launch.

It’s due to the AI’s pathing mechanics.

No it hasn’t existed since launch. There have been times where it was fine, worse, complicated as all hell, there are all kinds of issues that AI have had but it has not been constant.

I’ve played since beta and can say with certainty that my minnions have always been idiots.

They might work for a minute right after I summon them but their brain activity always reverts to idiot level quickly.

No, they haven’t. Originally all minions, especially Flesh Golem, were heavily over-aggressive and would chase anything hostile within a very large range until it or they died. They had no issue attacking though, at all, that issue was introduced when they reduced their aggressiveness to fix the issue of you aggroing everything within eyesight in PvE.
