Guild Wars 2

They’re obviously useless if you’re single targeting since they die in 3 seconds and the pet AI takes longer than that to pick up a target.

I think the idea behind them was to help with AoE but everything I’m AoEing dies at the same time so you encounter the same problem.

Now here’s where the design seems to be missing. Take jagged horrors with the second tier minor trait, Protection of the Horde, where you gain 20 toughness for each minion. The short life span might make some bit of sense if there was no cooldown on jagged horrors spawning so the basic effect was to gain some toughness for a few seconds while AoEing.

But as pointed out, that’s not what happens.

Blood fiend needs some major rework as well. Jagged horrors are laughable why gain something on the death of an enemy that does damage to the enemy you just killed? Instead make it chance on hit like the lich runes. I like the idea of them dieing and leaving a poison field as it is pretty fun specing 30 into death magic and using lich form spawning 4 jagged horrors and seeing the entire area covered in poison.

Also change the minion skins I seriously thought they were place holders when I played beta but I was wrong. The fleshreaver is pretty cool also makes me wonder why this wasn’t a necro only minion.

The models on the pets are pretty bad. Zhaitan summons undead humanoids and there are Ascalonion ghosts everywhere. The best we get are some rats and scorpions? Really? So much for master of death…

Maybe at level 100 we can do those ;-)
