So, I confess, I only really like necromancer for the minions, and wells when I want to support.
So, tell me what parts of the game can I NOT do well with minions. I hear they do pretty well in dungeons now, although Fractals (which I honestly am not all that interested in) are not that great (maybe better now than agony resistance).
What else will I be bad at with minions?

Open field zergs in WvW, any kind of wall defense, and certain dungeon’s/bosses.

Open field zergs don’t do well for minions because there is usually a no man’s land that spans from the front of one zerg to the front of the other, filled with tons of AoE. There just isn’t a good way to use a full minion build in those situations because of how much AoE there will be.

Any wall defense doesn’t work because they can’t get off the wall. Unlike zergs, where minions can possibly be forced to kinda work, they just flat out don’t work here.

Certain fractals, certain dungeons, and certain bosses aren’t friendly to minions. These are going to be bosses/dungeon paths with tons of AoE such that minions die constantly, or with special mechanics that minions are useless for (or even screw up entirely).

Every other part of the game, they can be used, although it isn’t guaranteed it will be easy or the best.

Good to know. At least I will be decent in most of the things I do.
