Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I know the Wiki states the ARMOUR and health of minions, but I couldn’t see any toughness stats on them.
I am wondering which minion has the most toughness, or in your experiences, which one seems to take aggro the most. I feel like it’s either Flesh Golem or Blood Fiend.

One tactic I know of to get Minions to take aggro in PvE is to let Flesh Golem charge in with it’s skill allowing it to take more aggro off you/party members.

I also read that minions only inherit condi damage, condi duration and boon duration from the Necromancer, not toughness.

So… do minions all have the same base toughness stats or am I missing something?

Thanks.

The only time toughness is the determinant of what gets aggro is raids; out in the world it is a significantly more complex set of rules including damage done, proximity, etc.

I am aware of the aggro formula which hasn’t changed on the Wiki (referring mostly to non-raid content).
I just wanted to know if anyone knew which pet has the most toughness/aggroing ability.

In vanilla GW2, I used to take most the aggro being a PS Knights Warr which was fun.

As written in the second post,the aggro system is rather complex in Gw2. It varies ALOT on several factors. So it’s hard to tell…. shrugs
