Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t make any sense to me that the Flesh Golem is not able to be active while under water.

It makes sense to me if the developers have not yet created swimming animations for him or have not yet perfected the Flesh Golem’s AI for 3D combat. For this reason I can see why they would make him terrestrial only with intentions of making him water capable later.

Does any one know if ANet intends to update this in the future? I am in love with what they are doing with the necromancer Minion Master and I cross my fingers every time I read the large monthly update notes.

If ANet does not intend to ever update the necro MM focus Id be happy to know now so I could move on.

p.s. Good work developers, i see that you are building the classes to be the type of game experience that you envision

they have not yet perfected the Flesh Golem’s AI for ground combat either, but even so, we have it.

they dont want necromancers to have flesh golem under water, as simple as that.

Back in BWE #1 I sent a bug report about the Flesh Golem underwater. It was in a falling animation. BWE #2 Flesh Golem was able to be used underwater. It’s just the developers being lazy. There is no reason why other minions can be underwater and the Flesh Golem cannot.

If he can’t be used underwater, it at least shouldn’t blow out elite into cooldown by going in or out of the water.

A) Replace Bone minions with Chicken (Jhorrors already use the rat model)
B) RISEN FREAKING SHARK UNDERWATER!

there is only one class elite that necros can use underwater, and using it kills all your other minions. Now thats just good design work.

We can make exploding minions out of bone or hulking masses of immovable flesh, but gills are way beyond us.

They’re dead. Why would they need gills?

Make it a risen, exploding duck so it can be used both in the water and out. (A big duck, like Howard, or maybe an Oregon basketball mascot.) Now, that is an elite1!

Edit: Oh, yeah, penguins are great in the water. Maybe an undead emperor penguin, then.

Well thats obviously because… Uhhh, look boobs to the right and burly beef man and/or cats to the left!

I remember this as well, really annoyed me when at launch I discovered that the fleshie was unusable in water despite the fact that I had seen him working perfectly fine underwater before.

Honestly the selection of underwater elites as a whole is very disappointing and a rather major turn off for a lot of character builds. A lot of professions have only one usable underwater elite that effectively pigeonhole’s what you can do underwater.
