Guild Wars 2

A while back Arena net Nerfed Jagged horrors to last 30 seconds. And I pointed out how this was a huge mistake and cripples minion builds and that the solution should be limiting their numbers to about 8 and buffing minion skills to actually be worth taking. Well, Arena Net has forgotten about the Jagged Horrors but I didn’t. WE Didn’t! Now that Lich Form Doesn’t even produce jagged horrors what’s the point in this nerf now? It has no practical use at all, even the excuse made for Lich form isn’t there….

Arena net… You need to return this back to form. You have no excuse now.

I couldn’t care less about minions.

Of all our problems, this one is the most irrelevant.

the jagged horrors were for a while what made our dps viable in raids and required a druid to heal them (teamwork yaaay!). Would be interesting if we had a reliable way to summon them other than death nova.

I was kittened at the jagged horror nerf, but it highlighted a bigger problem with necro, which is that we needed a kittenty gimmick to be viable.

This problem Highlights the larger problem. If Arena net can’t even balance the little things on the profession how can players possibly trust that they can on the larger things?

Always be careful what you ask for.

We do need the timed lifespan on Jagged Horrors to be removed. Having them degenerate health is fine. Alternatively, just put a (lower) hard cap and let them last indefinitely.

Agreed.

It’s very relevant to people that enjoy Minionmancer play. Just because you don’t like a build within a class doesn’t make it irrelevant.
