Guild Wars 2

So, for the preface of this, I used to be really into minion master Necromancers in guild wars, and loved the class a lot. however, in the current build of guild wars 2 I am having some trouble with just some basic stuff. I think it is too difficult to know how many minions you have on the battlefield without some sort of ui interface to show you, especially in world vs. world or large scale group events. The minions don’t always go after the target I’m hitting immediately, if at all, and bone minions are really hard to use because they blow up wherever they are at and sometimes that’s hard to figure out if they are in range of enemies or not. Is there any way you can make some slight changes to the ui for necromancers? its still my favorite class, just hard to use the minion master build. Thanks to all

You can always know how many important minions you have, the only unknowns are jagged horrors and somewhat bone minions, and knowing where Bone Minions are is honestly on you. They could improve the UI a little bit by adjusting the range indicators to be based off of the minion’s location, since that is the only range relevant to you, and could add HP UI’s over each minion skill. And yes obviously AI can be fixed, but this is a complex issue.

I don’t think either UI change is particularly important though, as you know by being an MM enthusiast from GW1 these little details are what makes the MM build unique. Tracking a bunch of extra bodies and information, knowing when they are getting low, knowing how to maximize their abilities and how they maximize yours, its all a part of being MM. Adding those things just makes it slightly easier to track.

What he means is, just stack a bunch of defense and hope you and your minions kill something before you die. Hehe :p

Nope, what he mean is as long as your minions skills ain’t in cool down your minions are alive (or deadalive). Things are not accurate for bone minions and jagged horror that’s all.

Beside you got a minimap that show you where they are.
