Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone.

Necromancer minions aren’t that appealing to me, but I really like the design of fleshworm. I tried to come up with some changes to the other skills but most of them weren’t that impressiv, like making the attacks aoe and targetable.

With Putrid Explosion I had a better idea, especially after the spec-patch. So here we go:
Simply put the active becomes a groundtargeted attack… maybe give the affected minion stability and superspeed to make sure the minion has a chance to reach the target but not neccessary.

But that’s only the lame part of it and may not even need to be touched.
The main idea is to let “Summon Bone Minion” switch to “Putrid Explosion” whenever we summoned a Bone Minion or a Jagged Horror from any source. This includes from the Lich skill, the Death Nova trait and, depending on the type of minion created by it, the new shout “Rise!”.

max number of explosions:
2 every ~20s from Bone Minions
1 every ~15s from DN trait
5 possibly twice ~ 180s from Lich
up to 5 every ~40s from “Rise!”

This would hopefully open up a spec similar to the old Minionbomber from GW1 and maybe improve the activ play of MM playstyles.
