Guild Wars 2

With the slight change to reanimator’s minion degeneration it feels slightly less useless. Being wells/marks healing I can now keep four to five of my rabid hamsters up in dungeons and I am learning to love their creepy little faces and auto attack bleed.

Quicker minion target acusition, and better control of my hamsters and ill start feeling like a real bloodmage/necromancer again.

Hmmm, never thought of that. Still think they’d die too quick to mobs though.

But don’t tell the devs this, they’ll make it so you can’t heal them. haha

You can actually get more than one at the same time now? Holy Kitten! I wasn’t sure if the change would actually do anything or not. I doubt they’re good now, but at least you can have more than one almost dead flesh rat

they aren’t bad with the exploding minion trait… I think they are fine now

I haven’t noticed them keeping me in combat, and that was always my biggest issue

I still would rather not have the skill as a passive entirely. Ever fight Lupi w/ that trait on? Ya, nobody likes you.

Yep you can get more then one as long as the first survives till the internal cooldown on the trait is up, you’ll get another one on the next kill.

Running apothecary+ full blood magic+ marks of blood they only lose about 2 HP a tick when I get regen on them. Yes mobs still smack them like paper, but that means i’m not taking the hits. Then if they start to get low well of bloood + regen from mark of blood usually has the little buggers topped off by the end of the duration.

The max i’ve had up at one time is 5, then it got tricky managing the different and depleting HP pools. With adequet enemies I can have one up almost 99% of the time.
