Guild Wars 2

I’m a pure MM and I think that it’s the best build even with their AL and the other bugs. ( Many players share the same thought )

Thanks you ( Anet ) for trying to fix the AL issue as you mentioned in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Necromancer-pets-will-not-always-attack/page/2#post1146761

But we still need many things to be done to our minions like >
1- Having the Vampiric traits affected by healing power as well as the other life steal things.

2- Minions should be affected by our stats as spirit weapons and illusions are.

3- We should be able to call our minions to run from the AOE which kill our minions in seconds.

I really need the developers reply on these including their thoughts.

the AI is fine for minions for the most part. they just need to always remain consistent by not just standing by idly. they really only need three simple priority behavior patterns:

1. attack what you are attacking
2. attack whatever is closest that is attacking you
3. none of the above (range: 2000), follow you

the only improvement i would ask is that when on land, all minions spawn by ground targeting just like the flesh worm.

we should just have minion spam

1. We should have minions that can be stack spawned
2. The minions that are stack spawned cost life force

or

1. We should have stack spawn
2. minions require a dead body

Since necros should benefit from death

We need two basic fixes at the very least

Pathing; and
Ability to command them to attack and to recall them.

Other than that most are situational and build specific which, while still important, won’t have the overall impact of the two mentioned. The command ability puts all the AI back on the player and would make it much easier for them to implement as the “intelligence” is abrogated to the player.
