Guild Wars 2

Sup necros! I haven’t played GW2 since early january, and throughout the entire life of the game till then, minions have always sucked, especially the AI.

Has it gotten any better lately?

The only thing they fixed about minion AI is that they no longer run after random NPCs you don’t have aggroed any more. They still sometimes decide to stand around uselessly, however. Especially in WvW.

I almost shed bitter tears of anger tonight. I had finally (FINALLY!) after being so incredibly indecisive made the choice to play a necromancer as my main. All was well for a while, and I was very happy with my choice. Bone Fiend and Blood Fiend did very well, and then I leveled sufficiently to unlock bone minions and run it alongside my locust signet and bone fiend. They hardly ever attack. I though it was fixed, that you auto-attacked 2 times and off they went, but no, not them. Shadow fiend was another dashing of my hopes.
Apparently it’s still a pathing issue and apparently they are still awful, especially in certain parts of the game.
I think I’ll have to take a day or two off of the game to re-assess my decision to play this profession.
