Guild Wars 2

I found a few issues with the minions, lets begin with the most important
when they attack someone/something I lose my currect speed for 7 seconds which is a lot.
Why?! it so dumb I just run slower I revive slower I kittening do everything slower and its really annoying because I’m trying to complete maps and sometimes it gets me swarmed with enemies and just get things worst for me. not that I die but still it slowing my process of achieving some feats.

Second annoying thing with minions which effects the first issue is that they attack EVERYTHING
Hostile,Neutral and some kittening non-hostile nor neutral creatures like flys and mosquitoes.

Believe me if I didn’t care I wouldn’t complain about this but its pretty effective to my gameplay and I enjoy the necromancer.

Please fix this:(

While in game, hit F11 then turn off Auto Targeting.

Will keep minions from attacking so much.

It may seem to slow you down, but having to deal with wildlife biting at you every few feet is even more annoying. I found having minions launched when I was exploring the world made my life abundantly monster-free for the most part. If you are actually moving the minions usually move too. It is only when you are standing in one place that they have the opportunity to pick a fight for you. Also, you can explode bone minions like bombs if they become a problem, and I think that deals 145 damage, 2x, that is nearly 300.

You move slower because you are in combat.

And no, minions on their own don’t attack anything. They respond to you attacking things, and return fire when they are hit, but won’t aggro on their own. Probably should change it so they don’t return fire out of combat, because its annoying, but other than that its fine.

I don’t want to disable auto-targeting because it disables the health of my enemies
also I don’t attack anything I run with my weapon holster but my dumb minions greatest ambition is to kittening attack and hit everything in their way.

and I know that if I get attacked I get into combat, the thing is I don’t do anything but running even from hostile enemies or neutral like a doe/moa/etc.. yet my minions fall behind because they have to “kil” for some reason. their AI is incredibly stupid when they attack enemies I don’t want to attack and even if they do why I have to lose speed?!

I know this is a dumb complaint but during exploration its really hard to ignore when it happens after you walk past every NPC no matter what their hostility status.
sure you can tell me to not use minions but their useful and useless at the same time.

The only way to fix this is to either fix their AI to attack only NPCs that you attack or if you’re under attack or the second option is to disable the dumb features that drops your speed if your minions are attacking something.

Oh and did I mentioned that sometimes only one minion attack while the other two are cheering him and stand idle?!
