Guild Wars 2

I run a minion build and lately I’ve noticed that minions like my Shadow Fiend, Flesh Golem, and Bone Minions will sit idle at random points in combat. Sometimes they will just stop attacking the adds they are fighting and walk back to me. Wondering if anyone is having a similar issue.

yep old problem. been since game came out.. if not even in betas

Have you tried being nicer to them? Perhaps not exploding them in combat and eating them for health?

yea this is a pretty common issue unfortunatly

One theory I have with this is that their detection radius is on a narrow horizontal plane, so if you’re slightly higher or lower than the mob/player that’s probably beating your kitten like you owe him money and they do nothing, it might be why.
Of course, when they run off and bite the biggest, ugliest vet/champ mob they can find when you’re already fighting something else… I dunno, that’s why I avoid any kind of minion!

Notice the Sticky at the top of the forum… the one that says “Bugs”.
