i just thought ill check out my necromancers Minions once more after almost 2 weeks break.

Flesh Golem and all other mellee Minions are still broken and just watch the battles instead of attacking…

So sad to see all kind of stuff, content added to this game weekly which i wont actually ever see because i just feel bad login into the game with my broken Minion Necromancer….

I am off again to play something else….. maybe january is the month for Necros … if some Developers feel like fixing the Minions…..

i am glad this isnt a subscribtion based game otherwise i would freak out…

Yeah you’d think since they advertise Minions as one of two mechanics that make Necro what it is, they might figure making them work is a higher priority. But instead they want to focus on fleshing out a rating system for PvP and get those 10 or less paid tournament teams some recognition for being able to abuse every broken exploitable mechanic in unison frequently enough to win QPs.

But the other million of players that hate the entire experience, who cares. The don’t need functional traits, I mean seriously Necro with minions is so played out. Should be Necro with Ponies, but not dead ones, live ones that don’t do anything but make that pony noise and rear up for joy when you die.

I would not mind as much if only those bone horrors would do like mesmer clones when i blow them up. That is, run to my target before going pop, not on your present location. It almost feels like the did a cut and paste on the various minions/pets/illusions and afterwards different teams did different modifications/fixes.

We have F2-F4 unused, why don’t we have a minion attack button? It would also be nice if bone minions exploded regardless of being killed or manually detonated. Either that or allow us to explode them during the summoning animation, because people being able to kill them before they finish summoning and denying any use from them at all is extremely unfair.

I totally agree with this.

…Not much else for me to say. We need some way to control our minions aside from being forced to use their cooldown abilities to attack targets when they’re bugged. (And if your Bone Minions are bugged, forget it. You can’t use them because they detonate where they are, not on their targets.)

The minions only attack if you hit 1. Using any other ability doesn’t send them to attack. If you always hit 1 at the start of combat your minions will attack. I’ve never had a problem using the minions other than bone minions being too slow. If they upped the speed on bone minions getting to their target they’d be amazing.

Every time I get the urge to play my necro. I play for awhile and my pets kitten me off with how slow they engage or aggro things. Worst pet ai I’ve ever seen.

That’s bs about hitting 1 to get them to engage.

Except when they don’t. I nearly always start with a press of 1 and still have all my minions stop to watch the grass grow a good 70% of the time instead.

Confirming extreme interest in growing grass for minions even when 1 is pressed as well as other exciting activities like watching paint dry, hitting inanimate objects at random and other intelligent and helpful things.
