Guild Wars 2

Share your Minions are Amazing moments, here are mine:

1) At level 1 when I don’t have any skill points so I can’t get any other healing ability.
2) When I feel like taking a walk outside bird watching.
3) When I need to pull my hair out out of pure frustration at how fast a normal NPC owns my Elite minion as if it was made out of paper even after Anet supposedly buffed it.

Any way, I guess we can’t all be Vanilla Warlocks!

4) when they get/keep you in combat while you’re running away

5) When they stand around not doing anything.

6) When the worm I left behind as my only means of escape in WvW gets killed by something.

7) When wurm gets killed by you using Plague or Lich, or worse, being caught in a Moa dance.

8) When the wurm teleport moves you to the wall right next to you.

10.) CCing multiple targets with the Flesh Golem’s charge, despite only trying to get one.

11) When you find yourself fearing water because the Flesh golem cannot swim while his lesser siblings can!

12) when you realize how wonderfull it is to quiet them when you disable sound effet.

13) when you hit 80 (through normal gameplay and PvE) and realize that, aside the Heal, none of the Minion utilities + Elite has been unlocked yet.

When you jump into water and they all go bye bye.

15) when you realize your Minions aren’t “Utility Skills” for the simple fact that they aren’t useful as proper Utility Skills*

• (they don’t clean your conditions, they don’t give you buffs, they don’t help yourself fulfilling your role of Necromancer after the ANET concept: they don’t apply reliable conditions [wtf is a short cripple/snare?], they don’t make yourself consistently more resilient, they don’t reduce the chance your target is getting away [bone fiend isn’t reliable and golem is …well you should know that sum of issues!]; they aren’t also useful for the fact that after you summon them and get them oneshotted in a half second in a Bossfight, you just have your Utility Slots in perma cooldown with no real gain for the party the list will continue… )

11) When you find yourself fearing water because the Flesh golem cannot swim while his lesser siblings can!

lol so true.

16) Stuck on a small hill.

17) Stuck on an invisible hill.

18) Just stuck.

19) In WvW, when fighting a single opponent that you’re only using direct damage attacks on… they just stand and watch.

20) When they’re going to die the next time someone looks at them funny but there’s no way to heal them properly or resummon them without kittening about.
