What if Putrid Explosion was ground targeted?
Well, that would be useful, to accurately detonate a bone minion, than what it is now, detonate either one, with 50% chance that 1 of them is standing idle near the necromancer doing nothing (Minion AI rocks!), while other is attacking, and detonate 1 of them…
I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

How amazing would it be if we could ground target where to blow our bone minions up?
It would actually nerf the skill in some situations, a lot of the strength of Bone Minions right now is that all you have to do to land the skill is make sure the minion is in range, with ground targeting you’d have to also aim it, making it much easier to miss as the minion ran to the location. Also, if it got any “tells” where the minion changed behavior, enemies would be able to avoid it, whereas now they can’t.
Not saying that because I don’t think it should be changed, but any changes will likely result in some nerfs to its primary use (MM builds).

how about make them run to target like mesmer clones shatter
Still gives a “tell”, though I’m not against the idea.
running to target doesnt solve the current problem of blasting in line fields.

This is the big problem I think, and I’m not 100% sure how to solve it. MMs don’t care about field placement because Bone Minions bring their own field in any MM build that uses them, but for Bone Minions to be good for other builds they need to be able to have reliable blasts. I’m not sure you can fulfill both at once.
