Will the Reaper be able to summon new minions ?
What about his jagged horrors ? Do they have health degeneration or not ?
Will minions AI be fixed ?
Minions are just utilities, so yes. You can use your utility slots for Minion Skills. Nothing says you have to take the Reaper Shouts when you spec into the Reaper.
No mention has been made on Minion AI and its pathing issues.

I asked whether there will be new minions to summon ( like weapon skills not utilities ).
What about his jagged horrors ?

I don’t believe reaper is going to be a minion FOCUSED build if thats what your asking. I doubt theyl gain unique minions. But I wouldn’t be suprised to see them gain something like liadri’s shadows however. (Constantly walking towards you and they explode for kittenloads of damage if they touch you) (on one of there utlity shouts im assuming. A non boss version I don’t know if that would be elite level or not)
That jagged horror shout is pretty awful.
The only real benefit is if you have the trait that lets them pull conditions off you, but even then it’s doubtful if you’ll be able to keep them alive for very long.

why not let them explode for extra damage and poison?

Death Nova’s 6k direct damage and 15 stacks of poison say hello. It is an amazing hybrid skill if you use Death Nova.

No, he’s getting shouts that damage enemies, and isn’t a dedicated minion spec. The jagged horror shout was probably added to fill in kitten in current builds, as well as give us a very flavorful shout.

They’re jagged horrors, so yes they will. All jagged horrors are exactly the same.
Will minions AI be fixed ?
This is actually more on the new engineer elite spec’s head. If they’re gonna improve minion AI (it’s the same AI used for spirit weapons I believe) Then they’ll do it for the engineer drone spec so people (besides minion junkies like me) have a reason to look forward to it.
Love the Reaper elite spec and can’t wait to try it but I’m still thinking about this…
Is there only one elite specialization per profession? I main a Necro myself and love having minions around so is there a chance that they will announce a Minion focused elite spec?
I’m quite new, sorry for my noob question.

To start with, yes, but they have confirmed that more elite specializations will be coming after the launch of Heart of Thorns.
that’s good news then, I hope they will announce a minion focused and support focused elites for Necro
need to get to lvl 80 fast!

O.o Do you do necro?
Death nova does 420 dmg in 5 secs, that’s 70 x sec.
Sorry that’s a very crappy grand master trait , maybe i missed there the sarcasm.

Yes he actually does. MM builds are bhawbs favorite builds, so you can assume that he roughly knows the numbers…
A hypothetical 5 Jagged Horrors from a shout means that conditions could just evaporate from you if you have Necrotic Corruption, or they could all detonate for a massive pile of (now stacking) poison dots.
It’ll only be 1 JH against a single enemy, but against enemies like Turret Engineers, Rangers (especially Spirit rangers) and Mesmers, it could very easily be an absolute monster of a skill. Reapers will be able to, er, reap AI builds in a way most classes can’t.
Going Reaper just for “Rise!” as an MM necromancer definitely seems like it’ll be a solid option. The new Death Shroud may also fit the Reaper much better than the existing Death Shroud… Though if Life Harvest is replaced by a new skill, what will Transfusion interact with?
It seems like the new specialization system is almost tailor made to allow MM necros to remain MM necros, while still being able to play with new toys; as it should, with MM being one of the most iconic Necro specs.
The main stink of Reaper that I can see at the moment is that the existing Shout runes do not really synergize well with other Necro skills. You can Shout away your conditions… So you can’t throw them at your enemy with Throw Bugs/Stinky Mark.

Anduriel I gotta say if anyone knows the build he does. I imagine very few people have as much experience with it as he does. (theres a few like me that have run it since day one. But were pretty much the outcasts of that selection. And hes gone more indepth into it along with ronpierce than any other necro ive seen in the forums to date.)
If you actually look at the numbers in game. Both the burst damage from the death itself as well as the poison (which will stack the damage portion after this…very good for damage) youl find that his numbers are actually quite accurate in the ideal circumstances. (summon them. enemy cleaves them. they all explode.) I will probably be taking this shout along with bone minions and flesh wurm in a death nova build. And ill be taking this shout INSTEAD of flesh wurm in the necromantic corruption build.
