Wow O_o
The weapons and cooldown changes alone would turn me into an undefeatable beast.
Add the trait changes and you can wipe out a 20-man-zerg by yourself xD
Btw Corrupt Boon (I think epidemic too) can be cast if you’re facing away from your opponent.
Hope they really implement this and then we could negotiate with devs about trading all these buffs for fix that elites does not destroy minions, cause thats my top wish atm.

You can already do that, 10 into dm, 20 into curses and slap those marks wells from a wall up high.
And wow, they rolled the set view cast back, I remember that on one of the nerfs you couldnt have your back towards the boof filled beefy norn man throwing blue swively waves to CB him, sorry didnt check it since i last used conditions.
Also Imagine WHing 5 enemies into the satanic pits of hell, aka down ledges.
Ofc all this is a crack fantasy wishlist that will probably never happen (sad thing is except for the beta shade thing and the strength of undeath, all of the changes are either based on ele weapon damage or ele traits).

Some of these changes are OP, some of them just aren’t good, and then plenty seem like welcome changes.
Changing all minion skills to destroy them is going to hurt MMs, especially for Flesh Golem. Its going to turn us into crappy shatter mesmers, but with even less use if we miss our burst. The current mechanic of minions and their abilities right now are absolutely fine. What they need are for those abilities to gain much more reliability (rigor mortis needs to work, charge needs to not get stuck), and for minions to always respond to their AI (fix pathing or whatever is causing the glitches). Blood Fiend could use a slight improvement, I like the idea of having it heal other minions on each siphon.
Changing Near to Death will completely kill an entire line of builds for what looks like a pretty nominal gain.
There are others in there I like the idea of (vital persistence), but I’m not going to go through the entire list.
